AI bots must've taken down that link you shared, it won't load :/

And search crawlers/results have been producing snippets that prevent users from clicking to the source for well over a decade.

Edit: it loaded. I don't see how the problem isn't simply solved by an off the shelf solution like cloud flare. In the real world, you wouldn't open up a space/location if you couldn't handle the throughput. Why should online spaces/locations get special treatment?

Why should everyone else pay the price for VC-funded, private companies? They should incur the cost.

This is no different than saying “robbers aren’t causing any problems, you just need to lock your doors, buy and set up sensors on every point of potential ingress, and pay a monthly cost for an alarm system. That’s on you.”
