Resurfacing a proposal I put out on llms-txt: https://github.com/AnswerDotAI/llms-txt/issues/88

We should add optional `tips` addresses in llms.txt files.

We're also working on enabling and solving this at Grove.city.

Human <-> Agent <-> Human Tips don't account for all the edge cases, but they're a necessary and happy neutral medium.

Moving fast. Would love to share more with the community.

I like the idea, (original) content creators being credited is good for the entire ecosystem.

Though if LLMs are willingly ignoring robots.txt, often hiding themselves or using third party scraped data- are they going to pay?

At this point, it's pretty clear that the AI scrapers won't be limited by any voluntary restrictions. Bytedance never seemed to live with robots.txt limitations, and I think at least some of the others didn't either.

I can't see this working.
