I feel sorry for website maintainers at this point, they gotta deal with a broken ad supported business model, AI web scrapers, dwindling viewership, and now google modifying their pages without their knowledge. Like people who just want to share interesting stuff with the world and make a living off of their work have to deal with this crap.
As a web developer I’m interested if there’s something I can do to block it. I’ve already done an interest-cohort() hack and another that stops Instagram in-app JavaScript from being injected.
I’d love to get a collection of these “hacks” packaged in a Ruby gem.
Edit: I should’ve read this before commenting, I see that you have to fill out that form but list every variation of http/httpsand submit every domain/subdomain. Easy for me to do, but for a large website? Yikes
