There's always some cost to having to implement countermeasures. In games, I've seen seen poorly-implemented anti-cheat software kick or ban legitimate players from their games. A sibling comment mentioned captchas. That would suck for legitimate Instacart shoppers. Imagine frantically looking for each photo that has a stop sign in it, knowing that the orders you're trying to claim could be snatched up by someone who's a faster captcha solver. Somehow there's always a cost when bots start to wage war against other bots. Sure, they can figure out how to minimize it for the human, while making it uneconomical for the bots to exist. I guess I'm just curious how they're going to do that. Because I can already see the blog post now: "Instacart Banned Me for No Reason"
