Brief
Patreon is moving beyond robots.txt and working with Cloudflare to actively block bots that scrape creators’ content for AI training. The change aims to prevent unauthorized use of Patreon-hosted materials by machine-learning models.
Why It Matters
This shifts responsibility from passive site rules to active technical enforcement, affecting how creators’ content is protected from AI training.
