Should AI companies pay website owners for scraping their content? (A new opportunity is emerging)

I remember once discussing that intellectual property should be abolished (a quote by Jack Dorsey).

However, it seems that there is also a friendlier option that promotes more benefits for data owners:

Yesterday, I read on TechCrunch that CloudFlare is coming out with a marketplace called "Pay per Crawl" that allows website owners to charge AI companies for scraping their content.

(Side note: The marketplace is still in private beta, and Cloudflare is exploring the possibility of using stablecoins for payments in the future.)

Do you think Cloudflare has found a new niche in the market that will be profitable (or will other companies follow this business model)?

Curious about your thoughts on this situation. 👀
