This is literally just the r/nyt subreddit about The New York Times.

Isn't the stated reason to prevent AI scraping? As much as I dislike them both, given how these LLMs like ChatGPT work it actually seems reasonable.

eh I feel that excuse is bullshit - a scrape is the same as a web view. ai doesn’t need to scan the same content more than once. reeks of b/s to me

The content continues to change. When I have a specific programming question they don't help me figure things out based on the documentation alone. Seeing discussion about such topics definitely helps it as knowledge continues to evolve.
