The original title is 12 words: "Patreon stops asking AI bots not to scrape — and starts blocking them"

Short summary

Patreon is partnering with Cloudflare to actively block AI training bots from scraping creators' content without permission, moving beyond passive robots.txt reliance. This signals a broader industry shift toward technical enforcement against unauthorized AI data collection. The approach could set a precedent for other creator platforms facing similar scraping pressures.
