Comment on Open Source devs say AI crawlers dominate traffic, forcing blocks on entire countries

In my experience, the single biggest bully on the internet are the servers controlled by Meta which in my experience literally perform DDoS attacks whilst crawling, hitting sites several orders of magnitude more than all the others combined.
Actively blocking them was the only option left.

Jeez, don’t these fucksticks have enough data already? People are literally handing it to them hand over fist and they’re still like “no, we need to forcibly suck the data out of you until your servers burst into flames”

In my opinion, pretty much spot on.

How else would they get complete profiles on people who don’t use their products?
