  > Because the sheer volume is insane It sounds like you are reading tea leaves (based on your other comments) and volume alone is not an indicator to the source. My personal web page access has gone up 10x because I have agents doing things, and they are sloppy af, fetching way more than they need to. Insane volume from individuals, by way of their personal agents, is not surprising to me, given what I have at my hands and what I know others have and do in other harnesses. Them not being sequential, or typical scraping patterns, would to me lend credence towards people using deep research agents because google search has become so bad. In other words, the SEO industry went too hard, helped ruin search result quality, and now we the people are using Ai to sift through the noise for what's actually useful, work around all that money that manipulates what we see. For me, what used to be a single google search with useful page snippets is now an agent running multiple queries across multiple SERPs and fetching dozens or >100 pages.
