Title should probably be updated to include the fact that this is from 2018 (relevant as this series has been completed as opposed to having just been started)

Correct (and already done by now). Just a few days ago, there was the remarkable example that Cloudflare wants to use the code 402 (payment required) to keep AI crawlers away or ask them to pay. I still think it's a great idea, hopefully something will come of it.
