In a blogpost called, "AI crawlers need to be more respectful", they claim that blocking all AI crawlers immediately decreased their traffic by 75%, going from 800GB/day to 200GB/day. This made the project save up around $1500 a month.

"AI" companies are a plague on humanity. From now on, I'm mentally designating them as terrorists.
