i hate how disingenious this shit is.

@whitequark For me it's not the oversubscription, but more things like:

"What if you had guest wifi, except instead of your neighbours being able to use your internet it was shady people from all over the world?"

"Hate those “verifying your connection” interstitials? What if you made them even more likely to appear on your connection?"

(I'm not sure of the right way to handle overscription from my side, but I keep my "public service" usage throttled fairly low and non-commercial.)

@whitequark a goldmine for LLM SEO people. imagine what search engine SEO you could do if google gave you control of their crawlers

@cutesobri @azonenberg it's how ai crawlers are indistinguishable from DDoS attacks often

[azonenberg@ioc.exchange]

@whitequark @cutesobri business model: ai crawler that also sells ddos capability on the side by dialing up the crawl frequency for a specific domain on request
