There are thousands of alternatives to github pages that will host your content for free. Taking your static website to a different host literally takes 5 minutes. At the scale of Github or Netlify your 1gb/mo bandwidth blog website is a rounding error and well worth the potential conversion price. The ignorance in this thread is astounding.

You can “disagree” all you want but reality is that information hosting made huge gains in the past 20 years to the point where the only cost to share a blog these days is the domain name. Even if you don’t want to feed the “free corporate machines” then you can easily host it for 5$/mo and if you can’t afford that I don’t know what to tell you.

Literally free. So many tech illiterate people in this threat that still think website hosting costs money.

This is absolute insanity. To think that fiber and satellites are even on the same playing field is absolute brain damage.

I fundamentally disagree with all of your claims. The web was already ruined by SEO farms and I know that cause I worked in organic growth for years, AI is not making this worse.

The traffic argument is non-sensical in 2025. serving 200kb html file costs literally nothing. So if you want to write and share something you can do it without spending a single penny, ever.

I understand the frustration and confusion here but all of this whining is lacking any real vision. Information should be free and accessible to all and the rest can be solved without changing this core principle.

So while you “protect” what you share we all will continue to grow and share information freely and actualy contribute real change not start breaking the looms.

You’re conflating two different issues. The topic is “for whom the web is for?” not banwidth distribution and optimization.

If LLM bot is being abusive then that’s no different from any other user agent behaving like this and we should expand these protections from intentional/unintentional ddos irrelevant of user agent.

overloading from 200kb of html? We’re not in dialup era anymore

As someone who’s been on the web since the 90s I hate this.

The web was designed to be user agent agnostic. Desktop, phone, fridge, ai agents, curl, python script - whatever agent you are using shouldn’t matter for access. That’s the whole point of open internet, period.

The bike lane is like 1/3rd the size of the car lane and has more people on it.

I’ve been using Kagi.com as my main search engine for over a year now exactly for this feature and still Google is behind here only offering for news and blogs. On Kagi you can just click any domain and select priority level which works incredibly well!

my bad, kinda hard to get it through a text comment.

It would buying the name and user base and they already have a fork called Comet

From what I can understand this isn’t necessarily stronger or better than existing solutions but much more flexible while be just as strong. This method would allow to produce larger variety of space vehicles and much much faster.
