I'm not clear from reading the article twice on how HTML helps solve issues interopping with sites like Facebook, Twitter, or reddit. I've scraped these sites before and they render in html but either do obsfucation or detect that you're scraping and block you. Actually html was worse than the previous reddit thing that used to exist, where you could add `.json` to basically any reddit url and get back the page in json format. So easy!

So, did I miss something in the article?
