In all honesty, I don't think you should rely on a singular website of being the internet you dreamt of. The internet I dreamt of is being a sprawling chaotic mess of individuality, covered on many corners of the web. That's the web I grew up with. Just like Geocities when it was still alive, it wasn't the only thing on the web. Shit, I remember old Angelfire sites, and self-hosted sites.

@tsugato i don't see logic. NC is a hosting with additional (barely relevant) features. A hosting first and foremost, for people to run their own unique separate sites on. Are you saying i should instead pay for 5 hostings and run 5 different websites for whichever reason? I think a better solution is to at least attempt preventing crawlers from abusing this one hosting, which is supposedly what i pay for.

Neocities is not a "website". it's literally a "hosting" with *a bit* of "social networking" screwed on top of it, which at least i barely use. I see it as a perfect middle ground solution for user-made web, but now the AI bots are making my site unusable. How is this a problrem of using a popular hosting? Diversifying my choices will do jack shit, not like neokweb etc aren't scraped. This crap is everywhere.

I'm not saying you should be running 5 hosts or jumping ship from Neocities. I was just pointing out how the old web was more fragmented, which gave it resilience. I totally get the frustration with the current wave of AI trash scraping everything, we're on the same page there. I just don’t think Neocities alone can carry the dream of a better internet if it gets bottlenecked by this kind of bullshit.

Also, I agree 100000000% on the fact, that Neocities should be preventing any sorts of AI scraping. It messes with a LOT of SHIT.
