Fawkes -> Bots, forums, and monetization (Aug. 23 2026 18:27:26)
|
Current news about Cloudflare changing a default for new domains regarding bot traffic brought my attention to the fact that there is mounting pressure on crawler operators to distinguish traditional search-engine indexing from AI training and agent uses. As this happens, sites with obscure and specialist knowledge may increasingly be able to sell automated access to their archives rather than simply having that material used for free.
I certainly lack context for understanding this situation, but it seems like it might have positive implications for the survivability of this forum.
