next step: cloudflare sends hit squads to blow up the source of these slimy data grabber attacks

I don't see a problem here. Maybe Perplexity should consider the reasons WHY Cloudflare have a firewall...?

They do have a point though. It would be great to let per-prompt searches go through, but not mass scrapping

I believe a lot of websites don't want both though

Does it not need to be scraped to be indexed, assuming it’s semi-typical RAG stuff?

I really hope Cloudflare doesn't eventually evolve into a shitty ass company, so far I like them very much, and all this massive L for AI only improves my opinion on them.
