    Sure. Does the Gitlab -> GitHub redirect also long predate the rise in AI scrapers?

    I know of no such increase.

    If you haven't been staying up to date, maybe do that before dismissing explanations? The increase in scraping is such a massive issue that it's been discussed to death again and again, and big parts of the open internet has changed.

    You're basically calling bullshit on a charity having increased fuel prices, because you're not aware of any Iran conflict!

    Nobody from GNOME has linked the Gitlab -> GitHub redirect to the rise in AI scrapers.

    I surely would were you only to provide references to sources backing up your claims.
