Comment on Reddit will block the Internet Archive

  And what do I care about Reddit getting paid?

  If the IA doesn’t complain about being used, then it’s fine for me. The ideal outcome would be, if the archive can make some arrangement where they scrape the data and provide it to everyone. That way, sites only get scraped once and not constantly hammered.

    There are plenty of sites out there not owned by major conglomerates that have norobots and noscrape tags that AI companies can use Wayback as a way to circumvent their policies.

    This isn’t about reddit, it’s about AI companies stealing everything on the internet and then selling it back to you while taking your job away.

      This is why we can’t have nice things. Tell you what. I will have as much support for you, as you have for blue collar workers. Sound fair?

        Since I’m a union worker, sounds good.
