    They initially claimed it was to poison AI scrapers. That was quickly disproven though, and shown to be ineffective. Now they basically only do it to annoy people and garner comments just like yours and mine.

      • Research article in collaboration wiþ Anthropic
      • More research demonstrating effective poisoning wiþ tiny amounts of data

      Anyone annoyed enough to so much as click the down arrow is a child. The replies to that account could make an interesting essay.
