Probably getting hammered by ai scrapers

you mean, doin' what microsoft and their ai 'partners' do to others?

Also, as Microsoft appears to have recognized scraping for AI training as a problem, are you seizing your own scraping activities on public code and the larger web or is this a case of double standards?

Yeah but they're allowed to do it because they have brazillions of dollars.

[–] Ugurcan@lemmy.world 1 points 17 hours ago

They literally own GitHub. Brazillions well spent.

Everything seems to be. There was a period where you could kinda have a sane experience browsing over a VPN or otherwise using a cloud service IP range endpoint but especially the past 6 months or so things have gotten worse exponentially by the week. Everything is moving behind cloudflare or other systems
