i mean, yeah data scraping and dumping for AI is both dumb and pathetic, but what did the platform's creators expect? and what did they do to prevent it?
you can't make an unscrapable website because you obviously have to send the images to users in one way or another. strict registration wouldn't work either, unless it's a patreon kind of deal for creators with established audience in which case it'd be unprofitable for scrapers to pay each artist.
the only thing i can think of is letting creators use one of those "poisoning" algorythms on their images. i'm pretty curious now.

Someone scraped Cara recently. In case someone doesnt know, its an anti AI platform for artists, *made* by an artist who was fed up with AI data scraping done on other social media, so they made their own. Its actually so fucked up that AI riders would go this far for no reason. The scraper posted boastfully on reddit and was talking about doing a data dump on discord. What an actual loser. Fuck AI and fuck its riders.
