my point was that even if they don't have unlimited ips they might have a lot of them, especially if its ipv6, so you couldn't just block them. but you can use anubis that doesn't rely on ip filtering

    You're right, and Anubis was the solution they used. I just wanted to mention the IP thing because you did is all.

    I hadn't heard about Anubis before this thread. It's cool! The idea of wasting some of my "resources" to get to a webpage sucks, but I guess that's the reality we're in. If it means a more human oriented internet then it's worth it.
