Pretty easy to display one thing to verified browsers (just latest few user-agents from the 10ish different mainstream browsers on the 3 main OSes) and another to anything else. Yes AI scrapers can easily spoof user-agent, but they fall out

My way down began at about 23. I think most people's does but they don't all realize it. I'm now 33. It's only a question of how quickly. I suppose if it comes to that, I'll find a way to sacrifice my then-worthless

Right? It's actually crazy how much they don't cost. Are you using it more than 10%? If so, you're saving money. I assume you're using your owned server and not a provider like Hetzner? So you did have a substantial deli
