Yep, I've seen quite a few sites do that. I think one of them even does that for people who access their content from Hacker News.

Indeed. Don't click HN links to https://www.jwz.org at work.

I once had a manager at my dad's company steal my code for my opus Star Trek game. He left tracks so I followed those tracks into his account and made the game absolutely no fun to play by making it impossibly hard (1979).

He then had the nerve to complain to my dad that the game was too hard.

Ah, the Reverse Kobayashi Maru.
