From you description, you do sound kinda' like a bot. Disabled cookies. Disabled Javascript. Irregular searches. I understand the frustration with saying, "You have to have these features supported to use the product," but let's face it: providing an experience to people who deliberately disable huge chunks of browser functionality is a tremendous pain in the ass. I think I can understand both sides of the argument using different strawmen:

"Can I read this paper, please?"

"Yes, of course, just put on these reading glasses."

"Why do I have to put on the reading glasses?"

"Well the font is quite small. If you don't wear the glasses, you probably won't be able to make out anything on the page. Your experience will be seriously degraded."

"I don't want to wear the glasses. Why can't I just read the page?"

"Well, we can fit a lot more data and make the page more robust by printing the text smaller. Why don't you just wear the glasses?"

"I have concerns about the glasses. I'd rather strain my eyes."

"We're not going to make a special page for you when 99% of the people are totally okay with wearing the glasses or wear the glasses anyways."
