Same! Any chance you can share a list of the bots you're blocking so I can add them too?

ClaudeBot (second worst crawler) and GPTBot are the only ones that identify themselves in an obvious way. The rest I am blocking by network. I assume AI when the crawler is very aggressively downloading images - it must be costing them an absolute fortune!
Thanks for these!
