I stumbled upon the #WavyWednesday hashtag today and immediately thought of my photo "The Dancing Waves", with light and shadow on the elegant lines and sinuous curves of the Glamis Dunes in Southern California. :)

Oh look, my favorite: almost 7500 requests from all over the globe, with "Firefox/72" aka img2dataset trying to steal my photos! ❤️❤️❤️
#AI #Datasets #WebScraping #TechBros #MachineLearning #Cloudflare #Firewall #Webmaster #WAF
The worst AI scraper that doesn't even identify itself as such is still this user agent:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:72.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/72.0
It's not even listed on darkvisitors(.)com
I see 5120 requests in the last 24 hrs alone, all for JPEG & WEBP files. I don't want to know how much bandwidth & energy it consumes, globally.
Easy to block via Cloudflare or .htaccess: Firefox/72 is ages old and no human visitor would use it.
Spread the word.

Not when you’re a photographer! 😅
