A PoW link protector to prevent bots from crawling links that you share online.

Bot swarms operate at such insane scales, that almost none of them even execute JS (JavaScript), let alone solving PoW (proof of work) challenges (as seen in my tar pits which have almost 10 million total serves and other projects). Old Reddit doesn't require JS to function, so this makes it a large target for heavy swarms. The same applies to many forums. So if you need to share a link and you don't want that link crawled, you can use this protector. 100% free and no ads. It doesn't mine crypto.

Here is an example protected link: https://gladeart.com/go/1778419316391ToEmcwrie-Nn777xytJTMQUoqXnwCkjParVEgfSESXs

Here is an explanation of this protector: https://gladeart.com/blog/the-glade-art-pow-link-protector-what-it-is-and-why-you-should-use-it-to-prevent-bots-from-crawling-your-links

(Blog has no ads btw; none of Glade Art does).

While the uses of this tool are quite niche, there are some useful ones. Perhaps one of you guys will use it for something useful too.

Thanks for reading!

Calf century actually. Gym-goers know why.

Another tar pit has been added to the inventory, this time an entire site dedicated to it.

After almost 10 million requests in the past few months, the Glade Art tar pits seem to be slowing down for now. Perhaps they detected that the dozens of tar pit endpoints are endless or perhaps they started "blacklisting" the site. By slow I mean only about 10 requests per minute on average now. Either way, there is always a new bot swarm that arises later when things seem to slow down.

But anyways, I had a spare domain laying around unused, so what would be better than to create a dedicated tar pit site with it? And so a few weeks ago I deployed it. See it here: https://gladeart.com/go/1778469735274zGESWbV6i7pR-dPl7luNKr8Ls68jVuaiQ_NzhojhXdg

(Protected by the Glade Art PoW link protector).

So yeah, this site is a massive slop pit. Special thanks to the Poison Fountain as this uses some of its generated data for it. The site has been gaining traction and is currently my most trending tar pit. (Not of all time; only as of now).

The bots originally discovered it because I set up a redirect on one of the Glade Art tar pits to this site. I removed it now to not degrade its percieved value, and they continue coming to it as it must be in their database already.

Logs releasing soon once we hit 1 million requests in this new site, so stay tuned!

Happy May the 4th.

Meduza and GojiGlade; no more context, lol. A few days too late for the Reddit post but yeah, may the force be with you.

Article was written on March 28, 2026. We are now nearing 10 million requests in this endpoint, so I made an entire dedicated site for similar qualities. See its source code here: https://doggydogdog.xyz:8443/glade_art/ai-trainer-source-code

Additionally, I have launched a new experimental project, by the name gladeart (DOT) com (SLASH) history

Numbers tend to be attractive, so we will see how it goes. Thanks for reading!
