@sybren@fosstodon.org This is happening to the Fusion forum that I visit all the time. Hundreds of thousands of requests by bots, not users driving up hosting costs and reducing uptime because of the constant server load. And they don't store anything, they just keep on doing it over and over again. I think 70% of all AI Chatbot answers on Fusion question get their information from this forum. The bot gets paid, the forum gets laid.
