[New Note] - That’s the 3rd time today that I had to reach out to someone because they deployed an anti AI service like #anubis or #goaway . I have nothing against these people that just try to protect their service / assets from these shitty bot scrapping the web like they own it (when normal people do it, they get sued though)…
That’s what the AI slop is giving us right now: shitty AI services that most don’t care about (and the one that does should be a lot more careful about their results) and are a pain in the a** for everyone else: people trying to run small services / websites and the one that try to follow them outside of proprietary jails…
I really hate the state the web is now… NO thank you big tech sh*t heads.

@bacardi55
why do you have to contact the owners of these protected websites ?
because I would like to protect some of my sites and I don't want that this is a problem for legit visitors.
Is it due to js requirement ?
@adele Sorry, I should have been more precised.
I contacted them because they protected their RSS feeds as well as the rest of their website, making my feed reader unable to access their feed and thus not being able to "follow" them. Which break the whole point of having a feed :).
They all managed to fix it very quickly so I'm guessing that's not over complicated to not protect specific files.
@bacardi55 ok, crucial point 😁
