I would definitely believe that Bots are responsible for %73 of the traffic. Not sure how one would necessarily characterize them as "bad" but definitely wasteful. Worked at site that published science. They collected page view metrics. Doing something simple like excluding page views that where done by IP addresses that continuously cycled through all articles resulted in over a %70 reduction in page views. Needless to say it was never deployed because the high view numbers made the authors feel good.
