Or increase the price for the bots detected to a few thousand dollars
- mwint 5y agoHah, I love the idea of doing this. Detect a bot, change the price and put a big banner up that says “hey, human, click here to pay $40 instead of $4000”. Only works once or twice before bots would catch on and check the price, but I bet a ton of auto-order bots don’t currently. Then write it up and get that sweet HN karma for defending the Pi supply.
- eek2121 5y agoI mean, the text could be changed, also if KNOWN bots are detected, it won't matter. Assuming you KNOW they are bots, give them the new price with no hints at all. :D
