Exactly this. They are guaranteed to get scraped regardless. Ask any question of an AI model and the first 'source' it cites is almost always Wikipedia. (assuming it's not like a super technical in-depth question)

Might as well save on server overhead costs and get paid while doing it instead of trying (and failing) to block every possible scraper.
