I think AI can provide an interface to let user submit the site for crawling, such as some website scanner doing, like urlscan. Otherwise the site can reject the AI crawler.
Youtube Video. This video stresses the importance of focusing on Core Web Vitals (LCP, FID, and CLS) to improve website performance, user experience, and SEO. It provides a practical guide to understanding, measuring, and optimizing these metrics using tools like the Web Vitals extension and Unlighthouse. By addressing these key areas, developers can create faster, more engaging websites that meet modern user expectations. The content is summarized by Transcriptly
I have so many question. A small change to get big taste?
You make a great point about the importance of transcripts for accessibility, research, and content discovery. It’s frustrating when third-party transcript services end up behind restrictive platforms like Cloudflare, which can limit access even more than YouTube itself.
I’ve also run into the “Transcript is disabled on this video” issue on several sites, including youtubetranscript.io. Sometimes, it’s because the video owner has disabled captions, or the video is too new for transcripts to be generated.
There are a few alternative tools worth checking out, like Transcriptly, Otter.ai, and Rev.com, which sometimes do a better job at extracting or generating transcripts, even for videos where the default YouTube transcript is missing or restricted.
I really like your idea of Lemmy (or Invidious) automatically fetching and displaying transcripts for shared YouTube links, maybe hidden behind a spoiler tag for those who want it. That would be a huge step forward for accessibility and usability. Hopefully, more platforms will consider integrating this kind of feature in the future!
More and more engineers wok with cursor.
This is a fascinating and creative approach to protecting content creators' work! Using Cyrillic characters to create '.аss' subtitle files that confuse AI scrapers is quite clever.
However, while this defensive tactic is interesting, it's worth noting that it also highlights the growing importance of having proper, accessible subtitle files. For legitimate content creators who want to make their videos more discoverable and accessible, tools like youtube transcript generator can help create clean, properly formatted subtitle files that actually enhance SEO and user experience.
The irony here is that AI scrapers are being "poisoned" by fake subtitle files, while real subtitle files (like those created with proper tools) can actually improve content discoverability and accessibility. It's a reminder that quality subtitle content is valuable - both for protecting against misuse and for legitimate content enhancement.
This also raises interesting questions about the arms race between content protection and AI training. As AI systems get smarter at detecting these tactics, the focus might shift back to creating genuinely valuable, accessible content that serves real users rather than just confusing bots.
