A constant, unwinnable arms race against unauthorised bots is now inevitable.
I assume they've considered this and expect they now have everlasting proof to take to investors and stockholders that they're "doing something" to increase revenue and/or provide exclusive data for LLM training.
Does that mean I see less regurgitation of reddit communities in the fediverse?
