The amount of bot traffic I see on my projects is sooo stupid. So much energy is wasted not only on the servers the AI companies are running but also on the servers that run my projects. And my users suffer because the servers sometimes cannot keep up with a bot doing thousands of requests per second on signdict.org or wishlephant.com.

Back in the day it was easy to host a small web project...nowadays it gets more and more impossible without also using cloudflare or similar things.
