Operator	Hive · imagesift.com
Purpose	Scripts and scrapers. Bare HTTP libraries, scraping frameworks, headless browsers. Nobody identified themselves; paid by default.
User-agent contains	`imagesiftbot`
robots.txt	`User-agent: ImagesiftBot` `Disallow: /`
How to verify	No published verification method. Treat the name as a claim, not proof.
Should you block it?	Charge it or block it. It did not say who it was.
Does it pay?	No. It does not carry a wallet and cannot answer a 402. A site that charges simply serves it nothing.
