If you had read the OP, they don’t want the scrapers using up all their traffic.
yes i did read OP.
ed. i see this was downvoted without a response. But il put this out there anyway.
If you host a public site, which you expect anyone can access, there is very little you can do to exclude an AI scraper specifically.
Hosting your own site for personal use? IP blocks etc will prevent scraping.
But how do you identify legitimate users from scrapers? Its very difficult.
They will use your traffic up either way. Dont want that? You could waste their time (tarpit), or take your hosting away from public access.
Downvoter. Whats your alternative?
