		dgxyz 24 days ago \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: We can't have nice things because of AI scrapers I actually deleted my web site early 2025 and removed the A record from DNS because of AI scraper traffic. It had been up for 22 years. Nothing important or particularly useful on it but it's an indicator of the times.

No humans, no point.
