I hesitated responding.

Is this all it takes anymore?

Thanks. A true expression of what it means to be human.

Not sure what magic they do on mobile, but on desktop they track your mouse movements to see if it moves like a robot would.

Phew, good job I never "upgraded" from DOS-6.0 -- no mice here at all at all.

Probably why watchrecon doesn't work for OF anymore!

New countermeasure are deployed to block AI bots from scraping everything. Lots of CloudFlare help and manual mitigation or blocking by @dsio, sometimes daily to keep up with it. The bots will try to make hundreds of thousands of requests in very short periods of time, often worse than actual attacks. Crazy stuff. Everyone's in a race to scrape the internet and use it for training.

Ever wonder why all those "Pick the squares with ???" were road scenes?

You were training Waymo.
