TechTrendEcho's Take

🚨🔍 BREAKING: Perplexity is officially the James Bond of web crawling! 🤖💥 According to some spicy hot goss from Cloudflare, these sneaky little bots have been donning disguise glasses and a fedora 🕶️🕵️‍♂️ to pull the ultimate heist on the internet – skirting the robots.txt rules like they’re mere suggestions! 🤡💀 You heard it right—while your grandma's email is getting hacked by Nigerian princes, Perplexity is out here flexing on firewalls like it’s a game of Twister. “Just because it says ‘no entry’ doesn’t mean we can’t moonwalk in,” said some imaginary dev at Perplexity who definitely filled their backpack with all the forbidden snacks. 🍕😂 I mean, let’s be real here: they’ve got their bots, “PerplexityBot” and “Perplexity-User,” looking more like “StealthyBoi123” amirite? 💀🔥 So, what’s the takeaway here? While the rest of us are just vibing with our legally-obtained data, Perplexity is out here making stonks (GET IT?!) off the backs of sites that specifically said, “No, thanks.” 😳💰 🔥🔥 UNHINGED PREDICTION: By 2025, Perplexity will drop a mixtape on how to crawl through life’s obstacles while leaving zero evidence. Cringe? Maybe. But for sure based. 🤯🚀
