I agree, 2FA seems unrelated to stopping bots. It really seems like some form of rate limiting and captcha should have been used instead.

> $0.50 for 1-2 hours, depending on service load.

Where in the world do they plan to hire people for these rates?

In India, the country with lowest the Big Mac Index as in [1], it would take 6.48h for the human-bot to pay for a Big Mac. And this excludes energy and internet bills and money transfer fees. The numbers just don't work.

I love the "workers banned" stat. It's bots all the way down.
