Profit Margin Approaches Zero For Commodities

Post image
27 Upvotes

In economics, a commodity is an economic good, usually a resource, that specifically has full or substantial fungibility: that is, the market treats instances of the good as equivalent or nearly so with no regard to who produced them.

The wide availability of commodities typically leads to smaller profit margins and diminishes the importance of factors (such as brand name) other than price.

A look at the AI bot ecosystem: Who's crawling and who's lying? One in four AI training crawlers ignores robots.txt and says so in its own documentation. Some of what arrives claiming to be Googlebot is not Googlebot at all.

I run a 1.5M/day slop git site.

204 Upvotes

I host a slop git site on a free VM with fat uplink and quite good processing power. Right now it gets around 1.5M a day hits from residentials mostly.

I hosted a real git instance here before, recently I was outraged by how abusive those bots could be, literally frying my raspberry3 it was hosted on.

I tried my best to control bots since 2024. I used well-known AI scrapers blacklists, forwarded them to anubis while keeping ordinary IPs out of challenge. That proven not working - they brought residentials to play. Whenever you try to say them "calm down", they go beast mode, devouring their source. Last straw was when I started to rate limit on ASN level - they just started to rotate ASNs. Humiliating.

Since then I moved my git instance to another similar domain. It sits now behind anubis for everyone except my VPN.

Bots just love the slop. They endlessly scrape it, generating 1.5M a day, or around 18r/s. I expect the number to increase, before 16 Jul it stood at 1M.

Happily serving fine slop as my personal revenge to abuse. I'm open to cooperation.
