It's not great, it's actually pretty ineffective.

A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Because many already have solved the Problem via cloudflare, etc.
It's not that great, and the creator seems to have some weird fixation on little girls.
Because it's not a perfect solution and other sites have other solutions in place.
- not every website has the problem it solves
- not everyone who does likes the solution it offers
- web development moves fast but not that fast
Weird that this is getting downvotes. It's a legit question.
I think we're probably going to see a schism at some point in the fediverse.
The fragile people who can't seem to tolerate anything they don't like will end up in their own bubble.
My guess is it's the tone/wording that implies that OP doesn't think it's great.
I agree that it's a legit question, though.
People get sensitive when religion is mentioned!
Set is so much cooler.
Pffff stop with your superstitions. Anybody serious knows that Teutates is the best.
seems like some crawlers already know how to bypass it: https://social.anoxinon.de/@Codeberg/115033782514845941
Yeah. It's an arms race. Any technological defense will be countered eventually. In the long run, I'm not sure a technical defense like this will be sufficient - we'll need legal defenses that are enforced.
Yeah, that’s the dilemma. The more popular it gets, the more crawlers will be designed to circumvent it.
It isn't so great, and it is everywhere.
I believe, (far too) much of the commercial world relies on Cloudflare to solve that problem.
And as for Wikipedia, any AI trainer worth their salt should know that they don't need to crawl it, because you can actually just download the whole Wikipedia dataset.
