My recent Flickr account stats show huge spikes that go way back in time, so basically 1 or 2 retrievals on a lot of old photos. I feel like someone is scraping, and I wonder if it’s for AI learning.

@samgrover Is there no way to opt-out if that's what's happening?

@pratik A lot of my older photos had a permissive CC license so I wonder if that was the reason. If so then that was fair game. I updated them all to reserve all rights today. So hopefully it won't happen again.
