Very true that it is a typo, which I had noticed, and thanks for calling out. Still doesn’t invalidate my point though. My theory is that a lot of that traffic is likely coming from spoofed IPs as I doubt there would be substantial sustained legitimate, but improperly directed, traffic. My guess is a lot of it is shoddily written malicious traffic.

There simply shouldn't exist the scenario where a household is unaware that their hijacked toasters has been saturating their upload for months. It seems unfair, but these are solutions that actually work. Waiting for things to fix themselves clearly isn't. We're quickly entering a reality where everyone will be using Cloudflare instead of just most of us. It's pretty incredible how far naive decentralization got us, though. Soon we're going to be looking back in awe.
