Feed bypasses the Cloudflare challenge entirely — validated 2026-07-03 (gearpatrol.com/feed/); switched from fetch:skip to fetch:feed. Demoted daily → weekly 2026-07-22: the feed is live and enormous (4546 in-window items every run) but its content has collapsed into commodity roundups — 'best knives/sneakers/watches of 2026 so far' listicles, car news, retail discount posts — and it has produced zero finds across the 07-20, 07-21 and 07-22 runs. Not blocked, just low-yield; a weekly skim is enough to catch the occasional genuine product launch."
