The problem's cause really is about _who_ has to pay for the traffic, and currently that's the hosting end. If you turn that model around, suddenly AI web scrapers have to behave and all the issues that we currently have are kind of solved(?), because there is no incentive to scrape datasets anymore that were put together by others, and there automatically will be a payment incentive instead to buy high-quality datasets.

But I don't want to make human users of my website pay for the traffic just like I also donate to real world charities that I believe in.
