I enjoyed your post, thank you for writing it. I appreciate your ongoing efforts to fight this nonsense, and for being rad in general 😎

i want to set up a website but I hate the idea of anything i put out being plundered for use in the plagarism machine. is it even worth having a website these days if you don't want your stuff to be trained on?

if you can't tolerate the idea of someone (or something) you hate taking or having things you've made, unfortunately the only answer is not to make things i think it's still worth it for the human aspect myself

sometimes people say "you should use cloudflare", completely unaware that cloudflare itself is in fact one of the sources of garbage traffic

about 33% of my website traffic is badly-written scraper bots tripping my bot detection at this point

which is to say 33% of my HTTP responses have code 429 only 26% are HTTP 200
