This makes me want to never create a public service again.

Definitely get that. Being hammered by scrapers is a massive PITA (especially with latest aggressive AI crawlers). We focus primarily on allowing people to automate their existing workflows. For all hosted workflows we have rate limits to prevent mass scraping/affecting server workload in any real capacity. In fact, because we don't load js/html and hit endpoints directly I would guess that we consume less server resources in the end.
