Matthias OttAlright my web friends! 👋 Hands up who has experienced a surge in (LLM) bot traffic recently and maybe even had to take steps against them? I’m writing a blog post about this atm and it would be great to hear whether others are experiencing the same with their #blogs and personal #websites. #RT == 💚
Tyler Sticka@matthiasott Yep. Not as bad as others, but most recently I’ve seen a surge in traffic from Singapore. Will be updating my `robots.txt` list and looking into blocking soon.
@matthiasott As of a few minutes ago I'm now blocking known bots via `.htaccess` (not just `robots.txt`) 🤞
@matthiasott Following up, doesn’t seem to have made any difference
