Invasive tracking and pay-for-play search engines has broken the internet. It’s time to reclaim our independence with the Small Web.

The bots and scrapers are most definitely going after anything and everything - I’ve got about 10+ bots trying to scrape my site every day according to my logs. Quite honestly it shocked me considering I do zero SEO and it’s mostly random shit on my site.

There’s stuff being developed - ai robots blocklists, ai tar pits, poisoning the images and other media.

It’s a pita to implement a lot of this however, just for a small personal site.
