Very appreciative of the heads up! This is the first time I’ve seen feedback from someone who’s worked with them.
There is no spoon.
Anyway, what does this have to do with technology?
Samsung is one of the largest tech companies in the world. I don’t think that’s debatable.
In a blogpost called, “AI crawlers need to be more respectful”, they claim that blocking all AI crawlers immediately decreased their traffic by 75%, going from 800GB/day to 200GB/day. This made the project save up around $1500 a month.
“AI” companies are a plague on humanity. From now on, I’m mentally designating them as terrorists.

I love how there’s that one weirdo downvoting all these replies against the multitude of people who find this distasteful. You know who you are, you twisted little wretch.
Best answer. We can sell it!
I love projects like this. It’s way harder to do in Bash, but that’s what makes it interesting. The unnecessary effort to do it right shows real skill.
“Matt’s war against WP Engine has been polarizing and upsetting for everyone in WordPress, but most of the WP community has been relatively insulated from any real effects. Putting a loyalty test in the form of a checkmark on the WordPress.org login page has brought the conflict directly to every community member and contributor. Matt is not just forcing everyone to take sides, he is actively telling people to consult attorneys to determine whether or not they should check the box,” the anonymous contributor I spoke to told me. “It is also more than just whether or not you agree to a legally dubious statement to log in. A growing number of active, dedicated community members, many who have no connection with WP Engine, have had their WordPress.org accounts completely disabled with no notice or explanation as to why. No one knows who will be banned next or for what… Whatever Matt’s end goal is, his ‘tactics,’ especially this legally and ethically ambiguous checkbox, are causing a lot of confusion and mental anguish to people around the world.”
This is the sort of behavior that causes irreparable damage to a brand. Psycho.
You don’t have to be far left to know that hating trans people is wrong.
