I'm hosting my blog on cloudflare pages, it's analytics show 80 or so uniques every day consistently even though I barely write there. Installed Umami - 0 visitors. None. Internet is just LLM crawlers hungry for content now?

We passed the tipping point where bot traffic outnumbered human traffic fifteen years ago. LLMs are an order of magnitude worse by most first-hand accounts, but it's just a continuation of a very long trend.
"Internet is just LLM crawlers hungry for content now?"

its been that way for a few years, real users using mobile app and access social media now

the percentage internet user who "surfing" on the web is dwindling and more likely diminish in near future

I see this too on my CF Pages-hosted blog.

Analytics only work if the agent runs JS. CF on the other hand counts file fetches, which can't be circumvented.

There's always a baseline of bot traffic.

ah, that explains it, I think. I expected them to sessionize the file transfers under one unique somehow still, even without JS.
