This method of selecting tags allows for invalid combos, like "?tag=2026%2C2025". That selects images that were drawn both in 2026 *and* 2025... which obviously can't exist! The resulting page will tell you that 0 images were found.
A human would generally make sense of the available options, and *not* select two different years simultaneously. I could even code the page so that if one year is already selected, you can't select another one.

But you can't stop anyone from entering a URL with any combination of tag names. You must decide what page they will see when they do so, and in my case, it's a gallery page with 0 images. Now: enter the web crawler bot. It finds my site. It grabs all of the links on the front page, then starts loading each one. Then it grabs all of the links on *those* pages, and starts loading all of *them*. Presumably it will stop once all links have been viewed. 🧵4/?
