What do you mean by "abuse from developers". Like creating multiple free accounts? I thought you said this wasn't a problem at all 😅

Yeah but right now the incentive to fake is much lower. 99.99% of people in the world have no use for scraped data while everyone needs money. So the most sophisticated scammers would find us.

Sure. There is always middle ground in all proposals!

I still think it is not worth the added complexity but will propose it to open the discussion. Since the community is clearly anxious about free users whether that is legit or not 😄

Well, I guess it is understandable to be anxious about that. Some reasons that come to mind: 1. We do not know the details of the anti-bot techniques implemented by Apify, and we should not know them, of course, but that is simply a fact. We can only trust that they work well enough. 2. We do not have enough data to decide how to handle free users. We would need detailed per-user data to make better decisions in our actors. 3. As you pointed out yourself, if the incentive were higher, the system might not work because of sophisticated scammers. But those scammers could already exist now, just targeting specific actors. That is what we are afraid of.
