What are some examples of "most real world sites".

What are some examples of sites that are not "most real world sites".

Is HN a "real world site".

What percentage of sites submitted to HN are "most real world sites". (IME, it's a minority fraction.)

Why not just delete or change the user-agent line in scrape.go before compiling.

(Personal experience: I have been successfully retrieving information from the www for decades without including a user-agent header. The number of sites I have found that require this header is relatively small. It does not rise to the level of "most".)

HN replies usually fail to include even a single example.

Similarly, do examples provided for scraper programs and libraries ever include "most real world sites".
