Expect more sealed off content. Thanks to ai scrapers more companies will want to close their apis or charge a fee. Heck even openai, the main leech want to prevent others from “training” their bots against their ai that has been trained on other people’s work, bandwidth and ip. Mods closing subreddits are just a symptom.
Yeah I remember back in the day people stealing credit card data used to claim there is nothing to be done against them. Then warez kids on irc claiming no one can or should stop piracy. Things will eventually balance out, dont worry too much.
