I get that the author “doesn’t care anymore”, but I saw Google, ripe.net, and semrush in the banned IPs.

Of these, I certainly wouldn’t ban Google, and probably not the others, if I wanted others to see it and talk about it.

Even if your content were being scraped for some rando’s AI bot, why have a public site if you don’t expect your site to be used?

Turning the lights off on the motel sign when you want people to find it is not a good way to invite people in.
