And of course that's exactly what they did with Coldfire - rounding off the inconvenient corners of the ISA to produce CPUs with lower power requirements and able to run at higher clock speeds.
They did it with the 68030 before Coldfire. They discarded a number of things (e.g. addressing modes) that seemed like good ideas for the <=68020 but didn't end up being used in practice.
Unfortunately the choice isn't between sites with something like Anubis and sites with free and unencumbered access. The choice is between putting up with Anubis and the sites simply going away.
A web forum I read regularly has been playing whack-a-mole with LLM scrapers for much of this year, with multiple weeks-long periods where the swarm-of-locusts would make the site inaccessible to actual users.
The admins tried all manner of blocks, including ultimately banning entire countries' IP ranges, all to no avail.
The forum's continued existence depends on being able to hold off abusive crawlers. Having to see half-a-second of the Anubis splashscreen occasionally is a small price to pay for keeping it alive.
The scrapers will not attempt to discover and use an efficient representation. They will attempt to hit every URL they can discover on a site, and they'll do it at a rate of hundreds of hits per second, from enough IPs that each only requests at a rate of 1/minute. It's rude to talk down to people for not implementing a technique that you can't get scrapers to adopt, and for matching their investment in performance to their needs instead of accurately predicting years beforehand that traffic would dramatically change.
I challenge you to take a critical look at the performance of things like PHPBB and see how even naive scraping brings commonly deployed server CPUs to their knees.
Web 2.0 was sites not having finished loading when you thought they had, buttons having a 1 in 20 chance of doing nothing when you click them, and the advent of "oops, something went wrong" being considered an acceptable error message.
It might be coincidence, but I've noticed the ads get slightly less obnoxious if I religiously abandon the video and close the browser tab any time the ad is more than 10 seconds long and unskippable. I'm sure they're monitoring closely to see what people will and won't tolerate.
I've used both Windows and Linux for 20+ years and I can count the major issues I've had with both on one hand. Yes, sometimes they both botch QA but you can also live with both without major issues.
Oh, and that update - fairly sure it was optional.
The usual lesson applies, never install version 1.0. Install 1.0.5 or even better, 1.1.1.
Write an image to a smallish SD card using dd (to remove most of the blocks from wear-levelling circulation), mount without -noatime, and you should be able to get the lifespan down to a few hours!
