In my case, I tried that, but then I had it re-enabled when I visited again, and I think they blacklisted my IP. This is an atrocious system based on undermining the privacy of legitimate human readers just in attempts to stop scrapers (as far as I can tell). I found an email to complain to the site in question, but I'm worried about this direction overall.
