it’s been an advertising company for decades

do you mean like the posts about it are intentionally done to cause more people to know about it?

Movie execs paying hundreds of different people to cause a ruckus in various theatres, and not a single person has come out to say theyre being paid to do it?

I don’t think so. Simplest answer - some people are legitimately excited

Probably not a platformer but I have massive nostalgia for it. Alunda

The future: we have replaced the microplastic in our blood with microcontrollers

It probably won’t look exactly like this, but could you imagine if it did?

I enjoy the challenge of the game. its not easy. When you do well, you get big scores. but i also just plough through tons of clearly losing builds cause i am bad at the game.

its the sort of game you have to play a lot to make progress/understand synergies but the games are also pretty short so its not a huge time sink

i love balatro

ah yes. I love going to the poker table and asking to buy various joker cards to increase my score.

why do they look at me funny when I ask for a planet card? Why arent they giving me a tarot card?

Wait why are there so many people at this table, I thought this was a solo game?

… what do you mean I have to wager real money? I just wanted to battle various blinds.

poker!

yes i did read OP.

ed. i see this was downvoted without a response. But il put this out there anyway.

If you host a public site, which you expect anyone can access, there is very little you can do to exclude an AI scraper specifically.

Hosting your own site for personal use? IP blocks etc will prevent scraping.

But how do you identify legitimate users from scrapers? Its very difficult.

They will use your traffic up either way. Dont want that? You could waste their time (tarpit), or take your hosting away from public access.

Downvoter. Whats your alternative?

Im struggling to find it, but theres like an “AI tarpit” that causes scrapers to get stuck. something like that? Im sure I saw it posted on lemmy recently. hopefully someone can link it
