I looked at our traffic metrics (we are a small startup) and just had to share it. 80% of our traffic are AI bots. Not even normal bots and crawlers, just pure AI bots. We have to feed the infra to support all this traffic. Meta is the big one here and it has sent us nobody at all. I Genuinely thought OpenAI and Anthropic would be further up, they get all the attention for this. OpenAI did manage to refer someone, so congratulations to them on an awesome 80,000:1 ratio. Blocking it is easy enough in Cloudflare, but you can’t do that without impacting search indexing, which is the actual goal for a site our size. Amusing timing too, given the ongoing debate about open weight models distilling from the frontier labs while the frontier labs are distilling the rest of us. submitted by /u/alulord
