Not to defend them, but that sounds like (one) fairly reasonable response to automated scraping, no? Ain't no way a human could view a million posts per day, but a bot certainly could...

It's about 12 posts/second.

24 hour marathon doom scroll. It's possible. Scroll through many a bit faster and you've got time to stop to read a few, and still keep pace. You could live stream it on Twitch.
