Random user agents are still somewhat effective, but they’re not a silver bullet anymore. Sites have gotten way smarter with bot detection, so relying solely on random user agents won’t cut it.
I’d recommend combining them with other tactics like rotating IPs (using proxies) and adding delays between requests. Tools like Scrapy or BeautifulSoup are great for scraping, but you’ll need something like Bright Data or Oxylabs for proxy rotation.
Also, check out libraries like `fake-useragent` in Python—it’s super easy to integrate and keeps your user agents fresh.
