@ansuz eh, this a dinky service, it makes no sense that they've gone after this so hard. 
no one should care ~at all~, for so many reasons. so it's made me wonder if upper management annoyed some people and this is petty/personal.
yes, it's been ridiculous.
mostly I want to know why, and it's annoying to have this feeling. 🙂
adjacent, you saw this, right?

@ansuz I love this, thank you for writing it!
You talk about how people just block IP addresses. Yup, that's me.
I'm blocking /16s at this point, as well as a couple /8s, and many /13s and /14s.
1.5 billion requests over a 24 hour period is not okay. I'd already blocked one offender subnet, when they stepped up their attempts to the billion range. They tried for a solid week. Then they spent 3 months at a rate of 30K per 24 hours, before wandering off to bug someone else. 🙄
@ansuz @mannazsci or maybe something like this?
