Aren't you paying for me to use the site, too? Or Google? Isn't the point of paying for a web hosting service to distribute information?



Yes, but there is a "free lunch" problem. I can run a script that hits your page costing you X at a fraction of the cost for me (the user)

*Edit: typo


I think the whole internet is a free lunch problem as far as that goes. I pay for web hosting because I consider the cost to be worth it to send my fabulous opinions into the ether.

The premise of this thread is that somehow the LLM builders are reading too much. I bet it's less than google.

I continue to believe, if you don't want everyone in the world to see and use your stuff, don't put it on the internet.
