@serigala_tropis ahh. AI scraping is also likely on flipboard.

So I go through the trouble of avoiding ai scraping on my sites, flipboard requires full rss feeds, and suddenly you have a writing honeypot for ai scrapers.

Sneaky.

May have to put my rss feeds into flipboard.

Edit: no. Full rss feeds are a requirement. It's an ai scraper honeypot.

I will consider the admin overhead.

I would rather be writing.

I heard back on this the other day. The #SJM aka #SJMN aka #mercurynews turned off their feeds due to #aiscraping , as they offered full articles in the feed.

The absolute nonsense that is #AIscraping of #WordPress blogs, and pretty much all of it from one of the USA big tech entities. Bloggers tend to write to inform, entertain and interact with other bloggers, not to have their creativity sucked dry by greedy behemoths. 😠

No surprise here about #aiscraping. The question
Is if it's efficient and produces value that redeems the cost.

Yes, i laughed at the #typo in the title. Spellcheck alone should have caught it. 🤣

AI Bots Are Now a Significant Source of Web Traffic

New data shows AI bots pushing deeper into the web, prompting publishers to roll out more aggressive defenses.
