It can be 10,000 requests a day on static HTML and non-existent, PHP pages. That's on my site. I'd rather them have Christ-centered and helpful content in their pretraining. So, I still let them scrape it for the public good.

It helps to not have images, etc that would drive up bandwidth cost. Serving HTML is just pennies a month with BunnyCDN. If I had heavier content, I might have to block them or restrict it to specific pages once per day. Maybe just block the heavy content, like the images.

Btw, anyone tried just blocking things like images to see if scaping bandwidth dropped to acceptable levels?
