So what do we do? We document what’s happening. We block scrapers. We move to better, more capable servers. We share our approaches and learn from each other. We push for better standards and regulations where we can. We make noise about the problem instead of suffering silently. Because this is the Open Web and and the Web was designed so that we can still do all that. That’s the magic of it.
