There's this weird entitlement people have in which they think that the author of a site is not allowed to choose the method by which they protect their own site because it may be inconvenient to their specific, niche, use case.

Although @Bender's unique answer is better than my obvious observation.

saying you shouldn't do it is also allowed

So long as a some half-decent explanation of reasoning is provided.

Plenty of people would say that I shouldn't block residential proxies, but I would 100% block residential proxies if I could.

I think most people responsible for blocking traffic would actively manage their rules if it was costing them something valuable. If they don't notice, then, well no harm no foul.

That's a long list of things you want to block. Can you even name what you don't want to block?

I gave my explanation, i sometimes have to download something to a server, and this means that I have to download it to my pc first and then scp it, sometimes over an extra server in the middle to get the file to where I want it.

Blocking vpns is the same kind of bad... with governments requiring you to show your ID or do a face scan just to jerk off, vpn usage will go up, and you'll be blocking all those people for no good reason.

Sure, you can block whatever you want, and i can and will hate you for that.
