There was a change made at some point last month around the discussion of the site being used to train ML models (a la Bard and ChatGPT), at the same the site went mostly private to non-logged in users. I think the aim was to block most of the automated bots and crawlers out there, and many of the “free” WiFi in hotels/trains has sniffers to monitor traffic and so fell foul of the new rules.
