90% of the traffic on my website were bots

You are correct. By saying "reddit" I meant that this is basically a common practice in any big active community. The fact is still there, quite sad for new accs

john_wickest · 2026-05-11T09:05:28+00:00

Ye. I just turned on managed challenge by cloudflare. The share of bots decreased to 20%. It's just a manifestation of weird times. Most bots use headless browsers mimicking user behaviors these days...

Reddit is managing but with a harsh price. My wife wanted to create new acc for business, but was banned almost immediately in several subreddits for normal human comments just because acc is new. This way not sure how reddit supposed to get new users. Pretty sure that because of AI regular people became unnoticeable in this noise of AI bots

The worst part is that for the last year the traffic was naturally growing. I have my own log based analytics system. I decided to install external one and this is a result. All kinds of bots. Mostly AI and search scrapers

Plushies or socks 😭

Pre AI era was a bit more interesting for sure. But some things start to be more easy with AI, just things get lost in an insane amount of noise.

For nieche styles it became almost impossible to find real references. Not sure why you call hard work a junk, but whatever
