Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

A possibility to game this kind of bots is to add a hidden link to a randomly generated page, which contain itself a link to another random page, and so one.: The bots will still consume resources but will be stuck parsing random garbage indefinitely.

~~I know there is a website that is doing that, but I forget his name.~~

Edit: This is not the one I had in mind, but I find https://www.fleiner.com/bots/ describes be a good honeypot.
