Bad Bots Account for 73% of Internet Traffic: Analysis::undefined
You must log in or register to comment.
The top five categories of Bad Bot attacks are fake account creation, account takeovers, scraping, account management, and in-product abuse.
Is it just me or is this article trashy. It lists scraping as bad and suggests it’s immoral. It also lists account management as bad.
I got a feeling powers that be will attempt to make scrapping illegal under the guise of AI fears. I don’t imagine that many companies like scrapers that collate prices of their products into a website that let’s people compare prices against other stores. I don’t imagine the real bad actors like scrapers that archive internet content into things like the way back machine. It makes it harder to delete that late night drunken rant, the poor PR choice or the political flip flopping or makes it easier to capture real bad activities in the act before they delete their activity after lighting fires everywhere
yeah they arent complaining about specific bot activity, its bots existence in general. someone is sloppily pushing a narrative
Never happen. SEO is a billion dollar industry
Bad bots, bad bots whatcha gonna do? Whatcha gonna do when they come for you?
Bad bots, bad bots whatcha gonna do? Whatcha gonna do when they captcha you?
the captcha now give you no break.
Its funny cos why bother trying to automate a captcha when u can outsource it to a real human?
At some point in the near future social media will be chatbots all the way down.

And the ISP companies complain about how they “couldn’t handle the additional bandwidth” of things like streaming services as they became more popular - at least not without charging everyone more. Come to find out it’s bots consuming the bandwidth. But hey, why waste an opportunity to profit.
They’d complain even if there was literally nothing to point at. Why waste an opportunity to profit?
That’s a remarkably terrible Wikipedia article
Probably entirely fabricated by bots. /s
I watched a video a while back… I couldn’t find it. It was much better than the wiki.
Scraping? Isn’t this what all the ais are doing?
I use flip which let’s me know when discounts are available. Also camel camel camel scrapes amazon. Scraping is pulling information off websites.
It just means automated search, like a search engine does constantly to stay relevant. Yes ai’s do it, but also tons of websites and businesses.
Bad bots do it too, but they are bad
And posting to Reddit if I recall correctly :)
Thats… less than I expected.
“nOt EvErYoNe WhO dIsAgReEs WiTh YoU iS a BoT!”
Beep boop, I disagree, fellow human.
Who’s a bad bot?
