    Bullshit. This bot doesn’t identify itself as a bot and doesn’t rate limit itself to anything that would be an appropriate amount. We were seeing more traffic from this thing that all other crawlers combined.

      Not rate limiting is bad. Hate them because of that, not because they’re a not.

      Some bots are nice
