OpenAI/Anthropic/Perplexity aren't the bad actors here. If they are, they are relatively simply to block - why would you implement an Anubis PoW MITM Proxy, when you could just simply block on UA?

I get the sense many of the bad actors are simply poor copycats that are poorly building LLMs and are scraping the entire web without a care in the world

That's in fact what I was asking: I've only seen traffic from these kind of companies and I've easily blocked them without an annoying PoW scheme.

I have yet to see any of these bad actors and I'm interested in knowing who they actually are.
