Yeah its usually certain ip addreses that got abused and are now flagged
I’m totally guessing but I’m guessing it’s more similar to:
Block if risk of abuse exceeded X%
I have no idea what I’m talking about, but I can’t imagine these companies aren’t using some pretty advanced detection of bot traffic
