    Firstly, the GNOME Foundation’s financial woes long predate the rise in AI scrapers.

    the increase in hosting costs which is hitting everyone for the last few months

    I know of no such increase.

      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.
