Ironically, my first instinct to opening that page and seeing it's unusual layout and density on mobile was to switch to the reader view. Immediately getting hit with the cyphertext output. Cool, I guess.

I did the exact same thing. Wouldn't like to see it adopted due to accessibility issues. But its a neat trick.

It would be better to use Anubis to try to block the bots or use Iocaine and let the bots scrape as much garbage as they want.
