Just here for good conversation with good people.

I don’t think it’s a bad idea but it’s largely dependent on the crawler. I can’t speak for AI based crawlers, but typical scraping targets specific elements on a page or grabbing the whole page and parsing it for what you’re looking for. In both instances, your content is already scrapped and added to the pile. Overall, I have to wonder how long “poisoning the water well” is going to work. You can take me with a grain of salt, though; I work on detecting bots for a living.
Thank you for the response. This isn’t my field of study but my Astronomy professor back in college pointed to Venus as a possible outcome for Earth if we continued with our current emissions. I know atmospheric CO2 levels in the past were much higher on Earth but I’m truthfully not sure I understand what mechanisms Earth has that Venus lacked. I’m not trying to argue the point; really, I just want to learn.
Lastly, I love your username. It sounds delightful.
Yes, absolutely, you are right. The comments in this thread and elsewhere are that Earth will be fine. Our current trajectory doesn’t bode well for that assertion.
Venus would also like a word.
I agree and I wish I was actually that cool. I just look at data all day and write rules. 🫠
