I own and make my own website. But Google search stopped ranking me high about two years ago (down from 3k/day to about 70), and sometimes I feel that my life's work just gets reduced to small icons at the end of GenAI responses. But I continue to do it because I love to write and create, and sometimes readers (if they find my site) reach out. I got a "thank you" from someone in the Congo!

Lest we forget another item missing from the list: they want to be paid when you link to them!

I despise these laws! Australia made Google pay the big news websites for linking to them, which is just insane to me. It inevitably favours the big news providers that can negotiate directly with Google, and the laws even stop tech companies from just removing the news companies from their search results as well. It very much feels like taking from one big company to prop up other big companies... Who benefits again?!

North Korean state media (KCNA) used to use post requests for everything breaking hyperlinks and bookmarks in the process. I suspect this was to deliberately ensure a sort of memory hole process for everything that they had said in the past.

An older pattern (which is arguably more well-intended) is when a site transforms all links to first go to a splash screen that says "In 5 seconds you will leave this website, so please be careful and don't blame us if you see anything bad!"

You used to see this all the time for user-generated content on web forums. I don't see it much these days.

It's worth noting that the U.S Web Design System specifically says to not use these "roadblock notices" for external links: https://designsystem.digital.gov/components/link/
