Cloudflare announced plans on Monday to launch a marketplace in the next year where website owners can sell AI model providers access to scrape their site’s content. The marketplace is the final step of Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prince’s larger plan to give publishers greater control over how and when AI bots scrape their websites.
As long as you route ALL your traffic through Cloudflare…
To be fair that’s a separate issue. Ideally we should have something Cloudflare like but decentralized
This seems like a great idea, charge those shitty scrapers!
How are they going to turn a profit if they can’t use copyrighted works OR scrape for free? 🥺
As opposed to giving all that unencrypted traffic to Cloudflare and letting them make money from it?
Idk what you mean, I was making a shit post. Cloudflare does tls termination?
Well, yes, that’s the whole point of their existence. How else would they be able to evaluate the traffic? They can read everything in plain text.
I guess don’t know what all cloudflare does and doesn’t do.
Honestly that’s not the worst idea I’ve heard
