patched it https://github.com/zululima/dotclaude/commit/550c1e55b4b5967...

my dyslexic ass thought a screen reader program owes gullichsen a billion dollars

instead of making the bots solve captchas, that is an infinite mouse-cat game, couldnt we accept bitcoin payments from the crawlers? it would be programmable, always cryptographically verifiable access for a single crawler. i read from moltbook some of these agents already have a wallet attached to them, so in my opinion it would sound more sensible to make them pay instead of slowing them down.

also some commenters suggested to make the agents mine the coins but with my limited bitcoin knowledge that would take more time that would be suitable for the crawlers to access the commits.

I hope this is the Reddit killer! Good luck <3

Good comments from everyone. For anyone else stumbling to this thread I want to add that at least on iPhone's Safari it's more cumbersome to open to a new window than it is on a desktop browser with middle click or ctrl click.

I didn't find this particularly surprising but I'm happy nevertheless that people are researching the important topic.

It was OK until they deprecated the API keys. Don't worry though I'm planning on making a FOSS Goodreads in the near future!
