#92Not only "protecting your email" is pointless like others have already pointed out, it's actively harmful.
There are a fair few sites, where most all content is perfectly readable without JS, except things like "1920x1080@60Hz" are displayed as literal "[email protected]" text.

#94Don't modern spam filters filter out most mails received this way and most spammers purchase lists for a specific targeted domains - house owners, porn users, dentists etc. rather than blindly scraping the web?

#95this works if you write it into the html on fullmoon tuesdays : some.dude@the.otherdudes.site
That works for humans. There's no reason to believe bots aren't handling entity parsing.

In my experience they haven't been in the past, but LLMs change the game by doing it by default.

It even uses the exact same syntax as in html, so as long as svg content isn't specifically excluded, normal web scraping would just work without modification.

Perhaps, but I think OCR is more likely.
