    The bots will pretend to be search engine crawlers. And not all have their own IP ranges.

    A lot of article websites whitelist Google's crawler, right? Can't that be done on a domain-basis? Or maybe have some kind of authentication-based system 🤔, I guess that would require the crawlers to be refactored though
