We need to fake User-Agent now for our MCP clients? Could have just sticked to plain old HTTP then ;)

Astra for deep dive investigations, Sol 5.6 at mid-level for day to day tasks, Grok 4.6 via Cursor for routine and low complexity tasks.
And technical quality gates do not help if the human side lacks defense against slop code. If you don't have the right managers in place, the 2 years of experience vibecoder who ships a feature in 4 hours will always win against the 20+ year senior who actually looks at the code he is about to ship.
All of this is most likely due to mass scraping by LLMs. Welcome to the total shitification of the web.
I can think of domain registrars and entry-level VPS hosters (non-Hyperscaler)
Who else? Asking from a investment perspective.
yeah, insane.
I feel to some degree governments are also responsible for this, by not making consistent use of *.gov domains.
Take for example sunbiz.org, the Florida business register. For 20+ years sunbiz.org was the official domain, until they switched to dos.fl.gov in 2023. The average joe may have heard about "Sunbiz", but was the domain sunbiz.com, sub.biz, sunbiz.net ... who knows?? How would anyone know? All of this could have been avoided by using *.gov everywhere in the first place.

German courts think the internet revolves around German laws. There are some really insane cases, sometimes they will consider a website to fall under German jurisdiction simply for having a German-language version (somehow ignoring that Austria and Switzerland exist, ignoring German-speaking minorities in other countries, ignoring that a fully automated translation in 100+ languages is now possible at the click of a button).
Their site is a totally blank HTML page, it seems?
