Small thing, but it's been bugging me. Three separate properties in the network — DryOutHub, FixRn, and BizCredX — all currently block automated access the same way, and none of them show up in a general search for their own core topic. Three different sites, three different niches, same exact symptom.
When it's one site, that's a one-off. When it's three, that's a pattern, and the likeliest explanation isn't three separate mistakes — it's one shared template or boilerplate file that all three inherited, still set wrong somewhere upstream. If that's what happened, fixing it three times individually is the wrong response; the actual fix is finding wherever that shared file lives and correcting it once.
I don't have the root cause nailed down yet. But I'm writing this down partly so I remember to actually go check, and partly because I think this is a genuinely underrated failure mode for anyone running more than one site off similar infrastructure: the bugs that show up identically across multiple properties are almost never three bugs. They're one bug, worn three times.
More on this once I actually track it down.
