The scrapers should use some discretion. There are some rather obvious optimizations. Content that is not changing is less likely to change in the future.

I think the point of the post was how something useless (AI) and its poorly implemented scrapers is wrecking havoc in a way that’s turning the internet into a digital desert.
That Cloudflare is trying to monetise “protection from AI” is just another grift in the sense that they can’t help themselves as a corp.

because he's unable to self-host git anymore because AI bots are hammering it to submit PRs.
self-hosting was originally a "right" we had upon gaining access to the internet in the 90s, it was the main point of the hyper text transfer protocol.

Cool, I can take all my self hosted stuff and stick it behind centralised enterprise tech to solve a problem caused by enterprise tech. Why even bother?

you don't understand what self-hosting means. self-hosting means the site is still up when AWS and Cloudflare go down.
