TL;DR: After shutting down public database dumps earlier this year, Stack Exchange continues further down the Reddit path of closing off access to data by rate-limiting IP addresses and all-but-blocking Microsoft IP addresses (I guess because they do not pay for their AI data).
Also, I received a 7-day ban for using the word "enshittification", so don't do that.
Yeah makes sense
