It's official. The internet now belongs to the machines.

Only 42.5% of website visits now come from actual people.

For the first time ever, bots are the dominant population online, and we’re becoming the minority species.

Congratulations humanity!

@Climatehistories read the Cloudflare data.

Their CEO is lying to you.

Don't confuse the numbers.

"The actual data shows search crawlers are the largest bot category by a factor of two, the AI number is padded by counting Googlebot twice, the AI traffic that does exist is mostly training scrapers, and the agentic category Prince points to as the cause is the smallest bucket in his own company’s classification. His 'agentic' increase press release is disproven by his dataset."

No machine will ever surpass humans at internet trollery and $hit posting in my lifetime (even if I am pushing it)!!!
These bots don't have the soul, the spite, and emotional immaturity required to ruin a perfectly good comment section!!!
