Dittos - I’ve had to shut down a semi-dormant site that had many years of content in forum structures. These AI bots slam servers, offer nothing of value to the resource owners.
Simply put, they steal content and offer no useful purpose in return. This will kill the internet as a resource, and make it just another way to control and tax information.
Even the Cloudflare solutions are limited, but it’s a start - truly amazing to see where the Cloudflare interstitial screens are showing up.
Good opportunity for some clever computer engineers to make The Next Big Thing - something that can control AI and it’s amoral actions.
Yes, see #19...
Yep, I am done with Cloudflare. I stop and dump the tab, screw them... I’m not going to support the site and will go elsewhere.
But how would one get to content like your without a Search Engine?
