The concern here is that people aren’t happy that LLM parasites are wasting their bandwidth and therefore their money on a scheme to get rich off of other people’s work.

I'm not saying that there aren't problems giving big tech yet another blank check, but aren't we going a bit overboard here? I read the code (it's 100 lines) and it does one (1) GET request. You'd be generating pretty much the same traffic if you went to the webpage yourself.
