That was kind of what I was really hinting at, as the HN community tends to embrace things like ad blockers and archive links on stories, but god forbid someone read a site using an LLM.
Server owners should have all the right to set the terms of their server access. Better tools to control LLMs and scrapers are all good in my book.
I really wish ad platforms were better at managing malware, trackers and fraud through. It is rather difficult to fully argue for website owner authority with how bad ads actually are for the user.
This whole thing has made me hate humans, so so much. Robots are much better.
