I put my site behind a username/password wall, to block LLM bots.

Spambots learned to autoregister 30 years ago. Do LLMs not do that? Crazy.

User has to email me for access.

So that's less of username/password wall and more of manually vetting every reader wall?

[Max-Ganz-II]

Yes, you're right.

Works as current readership is very small, about 20 or 30 people.
