You're missing the point. The approach is block anything that doesn't execute the javascript. The javascript generates a key that allows your queries to work. No javascript => no key => no content for you to scrape.

Its a nuclear option. Nobody wins. The site operator can adjust the difficulty as needed to keep the abusive scrapers at bay.
