I also do this.

Still don’t know how to respond when i get fucked by LLM authoritarians (Grok, ChatGPT, etc.).

They don’t give the traffic back / incentives or even cite us as the source. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I use a robots.txt[^1] to try to prevent them from calling my site. But they're probably doing it regardless ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Don't want to completely kill my site from indexing, but if I did I'd 100% set up a tarpit.
