      its funny. when its anubis, the common opinion is rightly fuck ai, but when its cloudflare, then it is somehow fuck the website.

        Anubis does its thing, shows me cute art, then leaves without elaborating. It’s a mostly non-intrusive, individual/community effort to protect people against big tech and abusive scrapers. I usually see it in open source community websites that were getting hammered by LLM scrapers.

        Cloudflare’s is a corporate solution from the company that man-in-the-middles half the internet and makes me click shit every fucking time. I see it whenever I make the mistake of following a stackoverflow link.

        You’re goddamn right my reaction is accordingly different.

          on SO sites all the difference is a single click. and you have to allow scripts and cookies for both, so no difference there.
