You should really consider caching results and only fetching them again after a certain amount of time has passed since the last time you scraped them. This way you're not blowing through your ScraperAPI limit.

It seems like a wink-wink, hush-hush deal struck between Redbox employees and certain Walmart brick and mortar employees. I would venture as far as assuming that the three-copy-per-person limit was am arbitrary decision by another brick and

I see that quote being referenced a lot, and given when it was made I'm curious what it says about whether or not we believe that people have the capacity to change.

Thanks for the feedback! I have to say that the choices for when that CTA appeared caused a bit of anxiety for me. Up until I actually made the choice myself, I had never personally thought it was a good idea to have it immediately appear -
