Massive sites like Quora, Time, USA Today, and Stack Overflow are already on board with this. These sites will disappear to AI unless AI pays them a fee. This initiative is from Cloudflare, which is used by 20% of the internet. The new AI blocking setting is on by default, but if you're a Cloudflare user, you can go and turn it off. And if you want it left on, you can also apply to the Paper Crawl beta to get paid by AI companies for your content.
