Really All this is going to do is create a opportunity for AI ad removal,

It’s worse than that. As it stands, I’m blocked from ~30+% of the web because of Cloudflare. Unjailing the content into archive.org’s #WaybackMachine is indispensable. From the article:

“Websites funded by ads require proof that their users are human and not bots”

I already lose copious access to content as a human being treated like a bot. #Google’s plan is to take the next #CAPTCHA extreme. It’s the wrong direction.

Robots work for the user, not against. I created a bot to find me a house because the real estate sites lacked the search criteria I needed. I scraped the sites & found the ideal house. This would be nearly impossible today & Google brings it closer to impossible.
