Over at AppleInsider, the amount of bot traffic is insane, and it's gotten to the point where it's starting to even jack up some of our Google Analytics. No, GA we didn't see a natural 320% rise in visitors from Singapore... It's almost a full time job to manage. Our WAF rules are 90% 'oh shit AI scraper bots found a new vector.' It doesn't border on DDoS -- it effectively is. Coupled with all the Google changes that started a few years ago -- which is a separate topic I could rank about for ages -- 2026 is just a VERY bad time to be a website owner. I actually wiped most of our robots.txt rules the other day because literally nobody followed them. Anybody who tells you otherwise is flatly lying. This is the new normal though, we gotta try and figure it out |
