We have decided not to use those challenge-based approaches to protect
our pages because they normally require JavaScript on the client side.
Other solutions not based on JavaScript are also possible, but they tend
to be a hassle for infrastructure maintainers to deploy/maintain and for
users to make use of the resources.

Our approach to deal with this mess is to simplify our services in a way
that we hopefully do not reduce the amount of material we provide, but
present them in a way that might be difficult for the plague of LLM
crawlers to abuse, and at the same time convenient enough for our target
audience to consume.

All the best.
Mario
