It’s possible that the enforcement of a rate limit isn’t because of AI scraping, but rather because they failed to migrate before the June 30th deadline.

Well, something like 82% of people in Russia support Putin. A bunch of other countries, like China, which had 75% of people polled stating that the Russia/Ukraine conflict was good for China. Bush 2 had overwhelming support during the early-mid 2000s. Hitler still has fanatics and followers. There will always be a segment of the population willing to straight up murder others, in order to make their own lives more comfortable, no matter how misguided their ideology is.
It kinda is in some ways because it's basically left China as Russia's only option for a lot of import/export, so China gets a ton of leverage in determining prices. It's also solidifying China as a regional hegemon and opens up a lot of opportunities for China diplomatically.
I wouldn't go as far as to say the conflict is good, but there are benefits and it's not as simple as "people are brainwashed"
Okay then, when surveyed in 2022, 40% of Chinese residents polled said that they support the Russian invasion, and another 30% said the actions weren't necessarily right, but should be considered. Sounds pretty fucking brainwashed to me.
True they are but also haven't you seen polls about American and our allies (Britain, Australia) on our invasion of Iraq. I guarantee you if Britain or some other close ally invaded some country Americans aren't invested in polls would show the citizens support it even if it's undeniably wrong. So yes they are brainwashed but its not unexpected for any country not something unique to china.
Count me in that 30%
Russia's invasion was wrong, but it goes back to the Euromaiden government upheaval and that should be considered. Russia isn't just a crazy warband of orcs that wanted to restart the Tsar's empire for no reason. What's brainwashed about that?
