Why: duome hosts thousands of various Hall of Fame pages and hundreds of thousands of Duolingo Stories and Guidebooks (236K+ and 120K+ respectively), these are being constantly viewed by automated cloud based agents which is a bit too much for duome to remain stable, so we had to limit access to these pages making them available only to duome patrons and forum members.
