This doesn't say anything.

Why did the server crash? Who knows!

Did it crash because of ai scrapers? Maybe! It was definitely stressed by them.

Was the server hacked? No idea!

If it was hacked, was it an attempt to rig prediction markets? Sounds plausible!

This nebulous theorizing really is worrying me! I'm worried for the critical thinking capacity of every commenter. Sure, ai bot traffic is a problem, the entire internet is dealing with it, but its tenuous link to TheNumbers.com mystery is merely clickbait journalism without any sourcing.
