@coywolf I’ll believe it when I see it. They’ve ignored robots rules for years, and suddenly we’re supposed to believe them?
Sorry, but I think you’re gullible to take them at their word 🤡

/trap/ on one of my sites has 11414 hits the last 24h.
Thinking about what this looks like at scale is mind-boggling and sad.
