I don't understand. Are they scraping the blockchain as well?

Why make it easier for them by doing what you're planning?

Your philosophy of "they're going to do it anyway eventually" confuses me. Why should you spend effort in confounding scrapers? Because the content creators who are making the stuff that draws in income will recommend this site to other content creators who will make more stuff etc. etc. The whole idea of "They're doing their best to keep the scrapers away" could be your selling point.

Literally everyone but AI Techbros fucking hate AI and AI scraper bots. Literally everyone except unimaginitive sheeple fucking hate what AI churns out. It's the torment nexus, and we do not have to willingly be part of it.

Don't be defeatist about the "inevitable improvements of AI" - that's what the Techbros want you to think while they're desperately trying to prop up their house of cards behind the curtain. Stand up for what this site is built from - human creativity. Do what you can to protect it.

I believe that it will pay off much better than making it easy for the Techbros.
