No, because legitimate users do not just use residential and "commercial" IPs. Like me, right now

You are the 0.001%

Much more than 0.001% of people care about their privacy or (the larger portion) do not have unfiltered access to the internet.

I second this. When I have tested blocking VPS/data-centers to my silly blog there were about a dozen people on HN [1] that could not view my site out of the roughly ~17,000 (not counting bots) that could. It's not a big number but those are real people and they count.

I am going to move full blocking to a test node that people can play with but I have to finish working with Claude to revise someones repo is is no longer maintained because one does not simply put an anonymous chan board on the great wide open internets without some critical thinking.

What did you use for detection?

The complaints in the thread. I am aware the lurkers would not have said anything.

There were a dozen people who reported not being able to access your site.

The complete hysteria people go to over the near-non-issue of bots is, well, completely hysterical. Don't be that guy.
