Molly White, who writes the Citation Needed newsletter and Web3 is Going Just Great blog, described this as “a good proposal,” and said it was “weird to see people flaming BlueSky for it,” since it’s not so much “welcoming in AI scraping” but rather “trying to add a consent signal to allow users to communicate preferences for the scraping that is already happening.”

That being said, yes, not great
