  Thank you. I have been IP blocked by the Economist for years (and eventually reblocked after IP changes). I've never figured out which of my unlikable attributes was just too much here.

    I am super impressed by this. I can understand getting blocked once by mistake or whatever. Getting blocked repeatedly. That takes some doing. How could you possibly not know why they keep blocking you? Are you just naturally nefarious? So much so that your mere presence screams out in the ether? Are you hosting a tor exit node? Even that shouldn’t be enough. Are you part of a botnet? I mean if you were controlling a botnet you wouldn’t get blocked. You’d have to be skating that fine line of mostly innocent but also bad.

      It's from Cloudflare but it isn't like the Crapthca pages, not even the endless, unskippable ones. Search for this text to see pics Sorry, you have been blocked You are unable to access economist.com Searching from that I see some people only hitting it with certain browsers. As I write this, other browsers give me Cloudflare 502's - where CF says I'm good but the site "could not be satisfied".
