It seems like having a website open and available on the internet is getting practically impossible to manage, with bots accounting for more and more traffic. AI has gotten to a point where it can circumvent just about any form of captcha, sooooo, what? Does "the internet just get abandoned in favor of some other, better technology that we hope crops up? Does it fade away? Do the real nerds start their own separate internet, and not let companies in? I donno, food for thought I guess.
As a matter of fact the (small French) host I’m using to host my tiny personal blog is giving me a more than generous data allowance as I’ve yet to have any issue. Or maybe it’s just that my blog is so useless that it’s not even deemed worthy of a bot’s attention?
More seriously, I had not considered that aspect. It sure is not a detail. And that is something I’ll discuss with my host to get his opinion on the question (he must be a lot more informed on that issue). That is another advantage of making business with a local company: there are actual people once can talk to, not AI-powered bots ;)
Edit: & thx for the explanation.
