| If the LLMs are the "new Google" one solution would be for them to pay you when scraping your content, so you both have an incentive, you're more willing to be scraped and they'll try to not abuse you because it will cost them at every visit. If your content is valuable and requested on prompts they will scrape you more and so on. I can't see other solutions honestly. For now they decided to go full evil and abuse everyone |

| No disrespect to op, but I'm baffled as to how people keep coming up with ideas like this as if they are viable. Google is never ever ever ever going to "pay to scrape." I'm genuinely baffled as to how people think it would possibly come to this. |

| The only way that would work is if they were legally required to. And even then, it probably wouldn’t work unless failure to comply was a criminal offense. You know what? Even then it still might not work. |

| So they won't pay you and just scrape pages that have it public, and you will never get traffic from search again until you let them scrape |

| or turn your blog into a frontend/backend combo. keep the frontend as an SPA so that the page has nothing on it. have your backend send data in encrypted format and the AI scrapers would need to do a tonne of work in order to figure out what your data is. If everyone uses a different key and different encryption algorithm suddenly all their server time is busted decrypting stuff |
| |
| ▲ | mook a few seconds ago | parent | next [-] | | That makes the mistake of thinking they'll care. Most likely they'll just keep downloading the encrypted garbage and never notice. | |
| ▲ | chii 11 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | How does your normal users get access to the same contents? Or are you having the user solve an encryption puzzle to view it? | | |
| ▲ | vivzkestrel 9 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | - the frontend has a decryption module that ll show users what they want to see, - the backend has an encryption module. - The bots and crawlers will see the encrypted text - Can someone who peeks deeply inside the client side code decrypt it? YES - Will 99% of the scrapers bother doing this? NO - The key can be anything, it could be a per session key agreed upon between the client and the server, a csrf token, or even a fixed key | | |
| ▲ | hollowturtle 7 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | Ehm what would stop ai scrapers from using a browser like a normal user would? Google bot already does, it can execute js and can read spa client side generated content, so it proves can be done at scale, and I'm pretty sure some ai scrapers already do | | |
| ▲ | dirkc an hour ago | parent | next [-] | | If you decrypt the content on the client side using an expensive decryption algorithm the scraper needs to spend the computing resource to decrypt. | |

| ▲ | prmoustache 4 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | What if scrapers ips are millions of smartphones? If I was as evil as an AI scraper company that is not obeying robots.txt I would totally build/buy thousands of small games/apps for mobiles to use them as jumphosts to scape the web. This is probably happening already. | | |
| ▲ | vivzkestrel 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | in my case my application does not use pagination, it uses infinite scroll, even if you had a million devices that use google chrome, they would all load page 1 and if that req/minute progressively decreaasing thing is implemented, once they start scrolling endlessly they would all hit the rate limits sooner or later, the thing is a human is not going to scroll down a 100 pages but a bot will. once this difference has been factored it, it wont matter how many unique devices they bring into the battle |
| |
| ▲ | chii 4 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | so why not just do that for these scrapers, rather than complicate it by encrypting and decrypting, which is just obfuscation as the private key is clearly available to the end-user? | | |
| ▲ | vivzkestrel 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | tbh i did not encrypt decrypt for the ai scrapers at all, a lot of people were previously trying to download data directly from my API that my frontend uses and this kinda pissed me off a bit. So I added encryption/decryption to the mix and will release the newer version. As I mentioned earlier as well, can someone sit through and decrypt it? yes. Will 99% of them do it? no! Thats where I win |
