I work in cybersecurity, and the short answer is: bot detection is improving, but it’s not foolproof.
Tools like PerimeterX and F5’s Shape Security are solid, but they’re not magic. Bots adapt *fast*.
The real issue is that most sites don’t invest enough in bot mitigation until it’s too late.
(Also, the username thing is hilarious—bots really out here looking like they were named by a random generator.)
