Normally, you can just block non-consumer ISPs, but this site offers "residential proxy" services (basically a botnet-as-a-service), which means that now consumer IP ranges need to be selectively blocked as well.
I think PAT/Privacy Pass will solve this problem as far as normal users are concerned ("normal" meaning "running Windows, macOS, iOS, or Android, on devices with hardware attestation capabilities"), but soon enough we'll arrive in an age where you can only visit so many web pages before you've exceeded your daily internet allowance.
