Truly The Peak of Enshittification.

IMO this is not enshittification, it's not the websites fault they struggle with bots. It may not be the best strategy, but enshittification is when a digital service has its customers caugt with vendor lock-in and then exploits them for more profit

Enshittification is more than just scummy vendor lock-in tactics. There are multiple things that count towards enshittification. Using "bot detection" as an excuse to block users with ad blockers and privacy tools is just as scummy

Maybe try alternativeto.net instead

I recently tried to buy tickets on Ticketmaster for an hour. But no matter what I tried, different browsers, different device, I always got blocked from buying because I supposedly "browsed too fast".

I gave up and bought the tickets in 5 minutes elsewhere.

it works for me getting to the home page, anyway. I'm using UbO and bypass paywalls clean plugin on Firefox.

edit - are you using a VPN by chance? some sites flag them.

[-] trespasser69@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

No VPN or proxies ever used.
