Most of the internet unfortunatly ploinks fown a 'free' service and never even looks at what it defaults to. E.g., quite a lott of cloudflare "protected" sites block their rss feeds from being read by machine.
Yeah, maybe like 10:1 bot to human traffic. I'm just a rando blogger so I have principally machine readers - which is not a thing I mind. But I do use Cloudflare everywhere and I could just as well have PEBKACked a setting somewhere to block the traffic. Amusingly, I used to have like 100x the readers in the 2000s posting just as inane takes. I've been left behind by the refinement of the craft!
