    Read excerpt

    I wrote an article about auditing publisher websites last week, and it took a little piece of my soul.

Not a perfect science, as the robots.txt is so easily circumvented, but still. Multiple publisher x AI company lawsuits and threats to block Google from very serious publishers.
