That's what this thread has mostly addressed.
The bots crawl the forum so aggressively that the DB becomes unresponsive to actual users.
Then once the data is scraped, it's offered in AI queries which satisfies the curiosity of those asking rather than nudging them to visit the website (which is necessary for ad revenue).

I was thinking the push of individuals for political measures to make cars more affordable was going to take away this forum's appeal, at least to me.

I'm not sure what political measures would make cars more affordable. Usually interfering in a market causes inefficiency, which causes things to cost more. The cost of a vehicle shouldn't have much impact on how interested people are in efficiency in general. Instead, the cost of fuel tends to nudge people into wondering how they can burn less cash.
