  Yeah, I blocked em because it was too annoying trying to parse their posts - and the comments weren’t very contributory anyway

    Same. Their comments felt like a mechanism to deliver thorns into my eyeballs, and I said no more.

    if your idea of fun is making it harder for other people to read your posts for no reason other than annoying them.

    it made sense at first if they actually believed that this was going to do anything to an AI scraper. But they obviously know by now that that's not the case.

  Which is weird, because it took exactly 2 seconds to find out that th equals th by reading an entire sentence, and thereafter one can read the text just about as good as normal text.
  People who struggle with th maybe has other reading issues 🤷

    The point is that they are doing it purely to be annoying at this point. They have been shown many times, by people who actually work in the model training space, that their stated purpose is not achieving what they want.

      But start shaming them publicly and they go whining to the mods or .world who threaten to block you.
