In the last month, bot traffic has exploded to 10:1 due to LLM bots on my forum according to Cloudflare.
It would be one thing if it were driving more users to my forum. But human usage hasn't changed much, and the bots drop cache hit rate from 70% to 4% because they go so deep into old forum content.
I'd be curious to see a breakdown of what the bots are doing. On demand searches? General data scraping? I ended up blocking them with CF's Bot Blocker toggle, but I'd allow them if it were doing something beneficial for me.
