This is so shitty lol. Having a public RSS is not a blank check to feed it into an LLM, especially not one by a company that famously used pirated library books to train its models lol It's one thing to see this from some shitty megacorp but skin-crawling to read from something purporting to serve the indie web

The wording here is so fucked up imo. Bubbles "ingests content", authors have opted in to "mechanical consumption" by having public RSS feeds It really lets you know how this developer views the indie web: if you didn't want your work to be literally devoured by LLMs, you shouldn't have made your sites so open and easy to access. It takes full advantage of the desire people have of wanting to share their work online and connect with others. It's fuckin gross

@renkotsuban it would be one thing if they scraped it once but they just scrape 100 times per minute or something for no reason, basically just a DDoS. they took my website down a while ago because the access logs completely filled the disk
