No they point is there's really advanced PoW challenges out there to prove you're not a bot (those websites that take >3s to fingerprint you are doing this!) The idea is to abuse the abusers and if you suspect it's a bot change the PoW from a GPU/machine/die fingerprint computation to something like a few ticks of Monero or whatever the crypto of choice is this week. Sounds useless, but you forget 0.5s of that on their farm x1e4 scraping nodes and you're into something. The catch is not getting caught out by impacting the 0.1% of tor running anti ad "users" out there who will try and decompile your code when their personal chrome build fails to work. I say "users" because they will be visiting a non free site espousing their perceived right to be there, no different to a bot for someone paying the bills.
