Full title: I hid a link on my website that only bots can see and told them not to follow it. They broke the rules and in 4 days they went 124,414 levels deep into an endless maze. One bot opened 782,580 doors. I thought this was super interesting, this is how the internet is these days. Thought I’d share.
Look at their profile. 460 posts, 45 comments, in just 1 month. If they aren't automating their posts they need to go touch grass.
An overwhelming number of their posts have titles like "I made this thing", but are clearly just popular posts ripped straight from Reddit.
I also have them tagged as a repost bot. I'm not blocking them, but don't bother trying to engage like the content is somehow organic or original.
