re: @boysclub's newsletter on Dead Internet Theory, from Imperva's recent annual Bad Bot Report 2025:

"for the first time in a decade, automated traffic surpassed human activity, accounting for 51% of all web traffic in 2024. 37% of that traffic was made up of bad bots."

bad bot = automated w/ malicious intent

This trend of automated traffic surpassing human activity is concerning, especially with a significant portion being attributed to bad bots. It's crucial for businesses to prioritize cybersecurity measures to protect against malicious bot attacks. Stay vigilant and proactive in safeguarding your online assets.
