   The web is much like giving away candy at Halloween. As long a real people show up it's fun and community building. But AI companies show up with a 1000 clones wearing jeans and a Hulk mask and demand all the candy (and don't build community).

     I'm stealing this image from @gergelyorosz where he said:
     "Last month AI crawlers generated 90% of my site's traffic, forcing me to pay penalties. Problem solved after moving nameservers to Cloudflare+turning on AI crawler blocking. Site monthly outbound data back to ~40GB per month, down from 800GB (!!) No impact on human visitors." (2/2)
