    it is obviously sensible to assume

    I disagree. There’s no need to make assumptions. And even if there were, this does not seem like a sensible assumption to make.

      Ah, and why isn’t it reasonable to assume that the increase in hosting costs which is hitting everyone for the last few months, is also hitting GNOME? Why do you think they are exempt, when even big commercial platforms are struggling with the amount of traffic generated by AI scrapers?

        Firstly, the GNOME Foundation’s financial woes long predate the rise in AI scrapers.

        the increase in hosting costs which is hitting everyone for the last few months

        I know of no such increase.
