I disagree. There’s no need to make assumptions. And even if there were, this does not seem like a sensible assumption to make given that the GNOME Foundation’s financial woes long predate the rise in AI scrapers.
Ah, and why isn’t it reasonable to assume that the increase in hosting costs which is hitting everyone for the last few months, is also hitting GNOME? Why do you think they are exempt, when even big commercial platforms are struggling with the amount of traffic generated by AI scrapers?
Firstly, the GNOME Foundation’s financial woes long predate the rise in AI scrapers.
Sure. Does the Gitlab -> GitHub redirect also long predate the rise in AI scrapers?
I know of no such increase.
If you haven’t been staying up to date, maybe do that before dismissing explanations? The increase in scraping is such a massive issue that it’s been discussed to death again and again, and big parts of the open internet has changed.
You’re basically calling bullshit on a charity having increased fuel prices, because you’re not aware of any Iran conflict!
