I just started using this myself, seems pretty great so far!

Clearly doesn’t stop all AI crawlers, but a significantly large chunk of them.

    It is very different from the usual flat corporate style yes, but this is just their branding. Their blog is full of anime characters like that.

    And it’s not like you’re looking at a literal ad for their company or with their name on it. In that sense it is subtle, though a bit unusual.

      I don’t think it’s necessarily a bad thing. Subtle but unusual is a good way to describe it.

      However, I would like to point out that if it is their branding, then the character appearing is an advertisement for the service. It’s just not very conventional or effective advertising, but they’re not making money from a vast majority of implementations, so it’s not very egregious anyway.
