To play the... angel's prosecutor (?), but how can it be good from engineering standpoint when they're not trying to block users without login, supposedly, but this army of scraping AI firms and botnets?
Who ever scraped a page and doesn't know to try referrer, user-agent and all other 101 tricks in the book?

These used to be _official posts_ in the Catholic Church; the devil's advocate's role was to argue against the canonisation of a prospective saint. (I can't, offhand, figure out if they got a special uniform, but I do hope so.) They now use a more civil law-ish approach to this.
