I am sorry if this question is dumb, but how does proof of work deter bots/scrappers from accessing a website?
I imagine it costs more resource to access the protected website but would this stop the bots? Wouldn't they be able to pass the challenge and scrap the data after? Or normal scrapbots usually timeout after a small amount of time/ resources is used?
