Does anyone have a solution for when the spider or backend content aggregator gets its IP address blacklisted?
I think that Facebook got around this back in the day by having the user's device do the initial scraping. A side effect of this is that sometimes I'd post an article I found, but the preview image was blank because I submitted it too quickly or something.
Until we have a free publicly downloadable cache of all websites, similar to CoralCDN (is this defunct?), then building our own search engines is probably a nonstarter.

I have a slightly modified version running in production for Mitta. For IP blocks, try this: https://github.com/kordless/mitta-screenshot https://github.com/kordless/mitta-screenshot
