What keeps bots from just fixing their acts and reporting correct info instead?

  What's stopping them from clubbing you with a monkey wrench? With bots, to answer your question, it'd probably take another standard deviation in the IQ of the person using it. So you've ruled out all the script kiddies in the world by default. The purpose of this game isn't to have a perfect defense, which is impossible, but rather to make the list of people who can mess with you as short as possible.

  Nothing. Once this sort of fingerprinting becomes common the common bot frameworks will bypass it.

    But it's not common. So for the time being, redbean users have the advantage.

      If taking away normal users' agency is an advantage to you, you go and use it.

    To be fair, bot countermeasures are and have always been an arms race.
