You do that and we will continue the conversation after you come back with proof that you understand how publishers handle bots better then me. I will gladly listen/read such proof. I'm not afraid to be wrong here.

There's a problem to be solved, but turning off all ads everywhere isn't going to solve it.

I'm looking for a solution that allows publishers to stay operating. That happens w/ads.

Even sponsors want to know that their sponsorship is seen. There are operating requirements that exist as long as producing journalism costs money.
