- readyplayernull 3y agoWhile you are right, the amount of bot traffic is huge, from data scrappers, fake views (ie. YT video SEO, video ads, etc), to game miners and social media fake accounts which each scammer/spammer run by the thousands. That's not including the legal stuff like automated systems (web crawlers, media content generators, etc).
- superkuh 3y agoRight. I went to their site and I can't even access the actual "report" they're talking about. But it's clear that they've accidentally mixed up the words internet and web.
- gcoakes 3y agoCould you explain the difference?
- anonymouscaller 3y agoWeb is HTTP, so websites and videos. The internet is everything, including the web from SSH (remote server login), RDP (remote desktop login), to torrenting.
