Any idea why they're doing this?

Something about blocking access to data for not-logged-in visitors.
Blocking AI scrapers, I think.

Sheesh, didn't take long for the Fediverse to follow Reddit into the "mine mine mine mine!" Mindset.

That doesn't seem to be what is happening at all...

Do the AI scrapers use FediBuzz or just the same method as FediBuzz? If the latter, couldn't the servers just issue a private API key (or whatever, I'm not that tech savvy) for FediBuzz?

Similar methods, I guess.
The guy running FediBuzz has been asking people to donate API keys as a workaround. It remains to be seen how it will all turn out.
