Kia ora zas! I posted on the socials about our AI-crawler slowdowns, and again have had questions about why we don’t use Anubis, Cloudflare, etc (people are trying to be helpful, I guess). Perhaps you have a simple reply for them? I assume it’s because it blocks too much legit traffic, but I don’t think I’ve actually asked before

Actually we are currently pondering about various "solutions", none is perfect, and fitting them in our infrastructure isn't always simple. The ones you cited are candidates of course.

Thanks for the info! I'll reply

On test.mb.o why do we have such queries? https://test.musicbrainz.org/ssssss/mbid-a5433b... looks like CAA/IA query
