They can define a flat, per-request price across their entire site. Publishers will then have three distinct options for a crawler:\n\n 1. Allow: Grant the crawler free access to content.\n 2. Charge: Require payment at the configured, domain-wide price.\n 3. Block: Deny access entirely, with no option to pay.\n\n\n\nAlthough this is old news, I still found it interesting. Also, I like the “AI Labyrinth” feature of Cloudflare to block AI bots.",
