They answered your question in the OP:
> To generate convincing human-like content, we used Workers AI with an open source model to create unique HTML pages on diverse topics. Rather than creating this content on-demand (which could impact performance), we implemented a pre-generation pipeline that sanitizes the content to prevent any XSS vulnerabilities, and stores it in R2 for faster retrieval. We found that generating a diverse set of topics first, then creating content for each topic, produced more varied and convincing results. It is important to us that we don’t generate inaccurate content that contributes to the spread of misinformation on the Internet, so the content we generate is real and related to scientific facts, just not relevant or proprietary to the site being crawled.
Personally, I wish they would have generated deliberately inaccurate content. It would be a further disincentive to do unauthorized crawling. Just as long as the inaccuracies don't intersect with typical "misinformation on the Internet" inaccuracies, I think it'd be totally fine and ethical (e.g. Queen Elizabeth II was the 34th president of the United States, the TV show Saved by the Bell aired for 14 seasons with the original cast, making it the longest running live action teen drama in Canada).
I have two thoughts on this: it's important to find contentment regardless of situation, but I would caution against settling for less.
I've noticed that as more and more aspects of the American dream have been stripped of us by the uber-rich in recent decades, a certain kind of fatalism has settled into our collective psyche. There's a sense now that the quiet life is out of reach, regardless of income. That wages will never rise fast enough to keep up with the rising cost of housing. That there are just more and more and more people everywhere, that our heritage is being gentrified. That the hustle and bustle has nearly eclipsed most personal interaction. Basically that the worsening struggle of postmodernism has replaced community, tradition, and so on.
Ironically I had welcomed tech/progress up through the late 1990s, because young people today may not realize how ignorant times were then, when shows like All in the Family may as well have been documentaries. If you watch Saved by the Bell and Napoleon Dynamite, notice how there's no real technology, and there's an impression that the future is coming, but at a glacial pace. It wasn't like today, where if something hasn't been invented yet, it just means you haven't searched hard enough for it on the internet. We still had science instead of manifestation, so nobody told us how much our dreams mattered, only that we should put our noses to the grindstone.
Now in middle age after a lifetime of hard work with little to show for it, I find myself asking what all of this is for. What's the point of tech if it just makes you work harder? Shouldn't it make life easier, and bring more money and resources your way? And I think a lot about people who are good for nothin. Energy vampires who suck the life out of you when you're trying to make progress. They used to be people like me, angstful cynics who pointed out the absurdity of the modern world, who took solace in shows like South Park. Today they're the thought leaders and billionaires who vacuum up all available capital and lobby the government to take away our freedoms. What good are they if they only take but never give?
The key part of the article was unions. You want the quiet life, you've got to organize. This lone wolf, rugged individualist, pull yourself up by your bootstraps dream of winning the internet lottery was a bill of goods. Because winner takes all, and odds are it ain't you. I've been trying for a quarter century and if I knew then what I know now, I never would have started down this road.
I'm shifting my focus to a resource economy where basic necessities are provided by scalable technologies that can't be taken away by concentrated wealth. Where the difference between what employees are billed out for and what they are paid accrues ownership in a business, the same as capital put up by investors. Or that difference is accounted for in tax write-offs, pensions, retirements, social security, and so on. Where job applicants can see that discrepancy in public accounting records and choose not to apply to businesses that exploit them. So that we can all start getting paid what we're worth and build an economic system around improving the human condition instead of feeding off it like vampires.
Why does the design of this website have a "Saved by the Bell" vibe? (US TV show from 1990s.) And the dude with tats and salt-and-pepper beard just below "Make your statement" is super cringe.
I was the nerd-ish type as a teenager back in 1990s Eastern Europe and I don't remember getting bullied. I knew things were slightly different in the US, I mean the whole "cool girls" group thing and all, as we were able to watch stuff like Saved by the Bell [1] on TV, but that kind of atmosphere seemed strange to us at the time.

So?
Not everyone in the US is starved for upstream. Not everyone is going to lose their mind if their friend's Plex doesn't have Five 9s availability -- and let's be real, with all the things that can and do go wrong between a user and a service on the Internet, Three 9s is optimistic for anything.
And whose subscription service has Fresh Prince of Bel-Air? Saved by the Bell? Countless other shows and movies that aren't available with any of them?
Disney movies? Add a Trakt list to Radarr, done.
It's OK to say "These all suck" rather than choosing the least crappy option.
I've been using Firefox since it's inception and the Communicator Suite before that. To me this just screams out as a plea for attention to the younger generations.
This is like some weird episode of Saved By The Bell where Mr Belding puts on jeans and a ball cap to try and fit in with Zach and Slater.
...And so continues the chain of overreactions...
The emotional development of all involved, including these shallow protests, have the funk of adolescence and immaturity. I keep waiting for the principal to walk down the hall and break up the tantrum and shouting match.
Erik, grow up. Adira, grow up. Guys in the back, grow up.
Let me continue the High School metaphor for a moment:
Guys in the back, you are two man-boys who never matured or learned any etiquette, and your dick joke was (unfortunately) overheard by the wrong person.
Adira, you are the nosy busy-body that would rat out anyone who you perceive to break the rules.
Erik your symbolic protest reminds me of the permanently "friend-zoned" guy who tries to show that not all men are pigs.
That is the level of drama here. Its playing out like a lost episode of Saved by the Bell. I keep waiting for Screech to bring some levity to the situation. Because that is not going to happen, I will leave you with this:
Q. How many feminists does it take to screw in a lightbulb? A. One. AND THAT IS NOT FUNNY!
Edit: better word choice
