A decade old blog post of mine shows up as #3 in my website stats right now, for no apparent reason. I looked into it and sure enough – all these requests are automated, originating from the 3xK Tech network which seems to be better known for DDoS attacks. That bot is requesting many different articles but appears to be liking this particular blog post a lot.

I wonder why I even bother with website stats any more…

For reference, if I take article requests only (so no RSS or such) then these are currently the top 10 networks in my stats. The good news: one of these could be actual human beings, at least that much…
