Let me guess: There are ways for Google's scraping, search engine, and AI model training to bypass this.

[–] avidamoeba@lemmy.ca 14 points 1 month ago

My first thought.

[–] Max_P@lemmy.max-p.me 10 points 1 month ago

And hopefully ad blockers too.

[–] einlander@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

That or if Google hosts the service, they will just charge you a nominal fee. So the user will put the money in the basket or else they scrape the content again.

Makes it easier to see which sites to avoid, I guess.

[–] njordomir@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah, I don't care if they invent a paywall that jumps out of the screen and gives me a top notch scalp massage. I don't do paywalls.

How do you support the media you consume?

[–] Eggyhead@lemmings.world 4 points 4 weeks ago

The cost of consuming media doesn’t match its worth.

I never used ad blockers until they became invasive and disruptive.

That’s their secret, captain. They don’t.

Or, TBF, like in free-to-play games, they are subsidized by paying/non-ad-blocking users.

[–] Krudler@lemmy.world 18 points 1 month ago

So Google shuts you out of their rankings and results to sell this. Fuck you.

Drastically reducing website traffic speedrun any%

[–] archonet@lemy.lol 13 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

a paywall I am sure will be exactly as effective as google's attempts at ad-blocking on YouTube, for exactly the same reason: a dedicated group of pissed off nerds who spend their time getting around it as a service to everyone. Bypass Paywalls Clean is already a thing.

Meanwhile, publishers: "why is everyone using AI instead of viewing our sites themselves?"

[–] Schwim@lemmy.zip 9 points 1 month ago

I'm offering anyone using the service a chance to fuck right off.

[–] forrgott@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

So, once somebody figures out how to easily bypass this, that'll work in my favor in the end I hope.

[–] paraphrand@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I wonder how much it’ll integrate with Chrome to prevent tampering. I know it’ll probably not be perfect, but….

[–] ohellidk@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Hopefully ublock can handle those.

[–] db2@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I don't need whatever's behind that nonsense.

[–] kate@lemmy.uhhoh.com 4 points 1 month ago

I hope ublock origin can handle it and by handle I mean make sure my machine never connects to a google server
