I’ve been pondering lately about “zero cost” paywalls as a way to stop this. But then you don’t get any search traffic at all… Unless you allow Googlebot in? But then does that also allow them to scrape it for their AI? What’s the long term solution to this problem? Legislation?

Tech companies have been getting away with murder since the 1990s. This is just the latest stage. Unless someone intervenes at a state level it'll just keep getting worse.

I don't think governments will stand up to big tech, sadly.
