    AI Bots and website scraping at DN.ca

    I just upgraded our servers to handle the extra load so technically we are fine now but like I said before the AI bots are charging people money to access AI while at the same time they are causing expenses to the websites they are scraping. So technically all these AI bots owe us money and I am...

    AI Bots and website scraping at DN.ca

    I tried blocking IP ranges but the IP addresses change as soon as I block one another appears completely different and from a different. I have country blocking software and so far have blocked India, Bangladesh, Russia, and Pakistan due to spam and dangerous software injection. But I always...

    AI Bots and website scraping at DN.ca

    Thanks for that, I tried cloudfare and our up times were terrible, I can't believe how many times cloudflare actually goes down. We are using separate dns servers and I have the ability to edit or add code so I will analyze what you have provided to see if it can be put to use.

    AI Bots and website scraping at DN.ca

    DN.ca on chatGPT Here is a previous topic where I was talking about the ChatGPT bods but the Amazon and TikTok bots are crazy as well. Amazon is the underpinnings (servers) for a lot of AI websites so they are probably all identified as Amazon or AWS.

    AI Bots and website scraping at DN.ca

    I read there was a class action lawsuit somewhere because AI is scrapping data without consent. Our costs are insane, I'm getting overage charges everywhere because the bots are sending our usage through the roof. These bots (other than Google) have no permission to scrape our site for content...

    Would you buy DAMN.com for 100k?

    It's a great acquisition but goes against one of MY purchase policies which is... Premium Domain purchases must have a neutral or positive meaning.

    Seller hiked the price from $38,000 to $380,000 after discovering Pay.com.au was the buyer

    I have several forms, one comes with a contract and one must disclose the end user or the purchaser leaves themselves in breach.

    Sell-Through-Rate: .com vs .io vs .ai - Atom.com 2025 Sales

    Once the AI companies have their domains most of the unused ones will start to drop because of renewal rates. A domainer with 200 .AI domains will only renew for so long as soon as the demand drops so will the unused domains. The great .AI drop is coming, it will probably happen in the next 1-2...

    No firm ‘immune’ if AI bubble bursts, echoing dotcom era fears

    It has to burst, top 5 will dominate and the rest will fall away. I personally like Grok for being the most NON woke. Love the GROK symbol at the top of X posts when I want to see if a post is true or not.

    They automatically make logos for you on some of the domains but you can override that feature and upload your own on a per domain basis. I notice they seem to change them on occasion as well.
