You’re right, although my understanding is that there are a lot of poorly implemented scrapers for AI services unintentionally DDoSing websites with requests, so Anubis is more of a mitigation against those.
Yeah, seems like the problem is that fundamentally it could work by upping the difficulty a smidge making it then meaningfully expensive, but the spread between slowest edge device and high end means it’s impossible to chase that difficulty without screwing over low end device users…
