Booo! What? Are you crazy?🤬
No, I’m sane — and I can do the math🤓. If bots save money by paying for data instead of spending on development and infrastructure, then they’re motivated to approach things differently. WIN-WIN🎉

Wait… so how can content creators actually earn money from their content?
1. 🤖 Offer bot-optimized content and gate it with a paid HTTP auth key.
2. 📊 Sell datasets.

Luckily, there are still people using their brains for good 👉 github.com/w3c/tdm-rese...

1. Transparent bots become stealth.
2. Bots that are already stealth have no incentive to pay.
3. Content creators lose money to Cloudflare.

Result? If you’re small, you won’t sell anything😭. If you’re big, you can negotiate better terms directly.
