Does it seem to anyone like eventually the entire internet will be login only?

At this point knowledge seems to be gathered and replicated to great effect and sites that either want to monetize their content OR prevent bot traffic wasting resources seem to have one easy option.

AI not caching things is a real issue. Sites being difficult TO cache / failing the 'wget mirror test' is the other side of the issue.
