Given CloudFlare's direction, I won't be surprised if they start offering "anti adblock as a service" soon. Detecting it is still rather simple, and add in some punishments such as temporary IP blocking, and it would be rather effective.

(Note that everything CloudFlare talked about in this blog post also applies to adblock users, not just AI agents.)

The golden age of the Internet is not where people do it for money, or for views. That way lies clickbait and content farms. The golden age of the Internet is one where people share information because they want to.

I've probably spent 400+ hours a year sharing content because I wanted to. However the wanted to, was partially because of the good feeling i got from knowing I was helping semi-specific people and then later meeting those people. It's sparked numerous interesting friendships and discussions. That latter part will no longer happen as the AI sits in the middle and becomes the known source. It has massively put me off creating more content. I wasn't creating content to generically help humanity move forward, I did it to help people similar to me facing particular situations. As that becomes diluted, the incentives won't hold to the same degree.
