This is fine so long as it’s easy for me to turn off. I just don’t want to accidentally lose all AI traffic one day.

- dmortin 3mo agoDo you actually get any signifcant AI traffic today?
- arjie 3mo agoYeah, maybe like 10:1 bot to human traffic. I'm just a rando blogger so I have principally machine readers - which is not a thing I mind. But I do use Cloudflare everywhere and I could just as well have PEBKACked a setting somewhere to block the traffic. Amusingly, I used to have like 100x the readers in the 2000s posting just as inane takes. I've been left behind by the refinement of the craft!
- PeterStuer 3mo agoMost of the internet unfortunatly ploinks fown a 'free' service and never even looks at what it defaults to. E.g., quite a lott of cloudflare "protected" sites block their rss feeds from being read by machine.
- inigyou 3mo agoThis is deliberate from Cloudflare. It wants to block Google's access to as much of the internet as possible.
