“As you may know, on Glade Art we tend to take anti-bot measures very
seriously; it is one of our topmost priorities to protect our fellow users from
having their art trained on. We also tend to engage in trolling bots by using
endless labyrinths of useless data to trap them in. These are commonly referred
to as "honeypots" or "digital tar pits." And so, after 6.8 million requests in
the last 55 days at the time of writing this, we have some substantial data, so
standby and let us share it with you. :)”
