Most open source projects just hit everything with a PoW captcha instead of trying to guess if a user is real or not, so trying to spoof enough to look like a real user won't change all that much anymore.

    That's true. The reason is there's lots of bot traffic spoofing real users, sometimes even going through residential proxies.

    When bots spoof users well, the last option for projects is use these PoW captcha that annoy everyone. Enshitification continues.
