 AI is such cancer... i'd be blacklisting cloud service IP ranges altogether personally. Anyone who is running stuff from that in containers or whatever probably isn't nice people. actual users who like nostr and stuff will not be using google cancer or amazon cancer services 
 Your right, but I use my own private VPN from a VPS for my outgoing traffic and I get blocked from so many things now. I couldn't use YouTube, Spotify, Facebook etc, if I wanted to anymore.  
 yeah, i get small problems, mostly just captcha from cloudflare but my VPS seems to not be in the shitlist 
 probably because it's kinda expensive but it's quality infra, Sofia, Bulgaria, which had a huge influx of remote support service companies and an existing extensive high speed ethernet network (often strung across between buildings by gangsters back in the day, selling access to pirate movie caches), but it is on the high side of expensive

still, i have 500mbit down now and i get all of that via the tunnel so i no complain
