Hacker News has always been bad at understanding the words “mostly effective.”

An anticheat does not need to be 100% effective to be worth something.

A DRM solution does not need to be 100% effective to be worth something.

A website block does not need to be 100% effective to be worth something.

And so on. “There’s a workaround” != “This is therefore mostly useless.”

Otherwise, let me tell you, seat belt laws and speed limits are the most useless things ever made. The workaround is just pushing my foot down harder!
