> I'm going to stop you right there. This is literally destroying the world wide web. I don't mean that figuratively. More and more, I'm being locked out of sites because my IP is on a residential phone network that other people are launching LLM scrapers from. I had to take down my gitweb instance because it was being DDoS'd by the scrapers. Sites I rely regularly rely on for development or general information are slowing immensely and are locked in an arms race with LLM bots.

We all know that but do I really need to list all the problems, real and imagined?

Browsing the Internet has been a PITA long before LLMs anyway if you're in Europe.
