@announcements FWIW, you can get rid of a lot of those scrapers by catching all the self-identifying ones listed in ai.robots.txt, and on top of that, if anything says Firefox/ or Chrome/ in the user agent that does not also have a sec-fetch-mode header. Catch those, serve them a empty 200, or a 403, or 418, or heck, a 429, and a lot of the bots will be gone.
(Mind you, this also catches Googlebot and Bingbot, which I personally consider a win, but you might want to make an exception for them if you want to appear in search results.)
