When your reach the end of your journey across the sea of semantics and arrive at the shore of a lonely island, you can be king of it. Here, we are examining hosting costs.
- illiac786 2mo agoI simply don’t get why a human using a browser and a human using a bot using wget to load a page are different for a hoster, from your point of view. My suspicion is that you did not read the great grand parent post before replying to it and are now engaging in evasive tactics in order not to answer this simple question.
- psd1 2mo ago> hosting costs I think you missed that, in my last comment, and _in every word of the article_. You insist on a semantic equivalence that straddles two disjoint behaviours which incur vastly different cost profiles on publishers. Fishing with dynamite might be OK to feed a village, but when any twat can kill all the fish for a hundred metres in order to eat just one, then it's useful to draw a distinction. People who refuse to acknowledge a pertinent distinction are called "obtuse". One possible cause is ideology. I don't think you're stupid, just motivated.
