Before:

$ googler "I use googler for automated scraping."
[ERROR] Connection blocked due to unusual activity.

After:

[ERROR] Connection blocked due to unusual activity. THIS IS NOT A BUG, please do NOT report it as a bug unless you have specific information that may lead to the development of a workaround. You IP address is temporarily or permanently blocked by Google and requires reCAPTCHA-solving to use the service, which googler is not capable of. Possible causes include issuing too many queries in a short time frame, or operating from a shared / low reputation IP with a history of abuse. Please do NOT use googler for automated scraping.
