Comment on Running web sites makes me not want to - Lowkey Party
Dave@piefed.nz 2 days ago No it’s not, it was more of a tangential comment.
I think this is the photography site’s talking about.
He mentioned “so many scrapers hit my site that it saturated my upload with generated content feeding the them.” which seemed unusual to me. I’m not sure why such a site would have a public upload. It doesn’t feel like a site that would have a technical challenge with the scrapers, but I also get the impression the main issue is the thought of hosting all his photos just for AI scrapers to train their image generation models.

I interpreted that as LP having the site running in their basement, and responding to scrapers saturates their outgoing bandwidth.
Ah that would make more sense!
