I would worry about getting rate-limited then, I've seen some content servers just be very picky about making too many requests (through jumping in the video too far too often).
"You're trying to be efficient and you use a computer too well, you must be a bot! You're banned."
My experience every time I try to use most ecommerce sites like amazon
It's more that abnormal traffic gets flagged, and you end up getting limited
I get that its abnormal for me to open twenty tabs for a bunch of products and a bunch of different queries simultaneously. That's just being good at computers, and it should be encouraged.
Don't ban people who are abnormal. Machine learning anomaly detection is making the internet unusable.
