What does traffic mean in this context, is it the total amount of bytes transferred or the total amount of requests made?

Right? Are you really telling me bots outnumber streaming music, movies, and TV???

Do “bots” include telemetry and all the data your OS is constantly sending back to the mothership?

I mean, 96.5% of email was spam a decade or two ago, so this is nothing new, AI or not. Hackers and other blackhats are just shifting targets.

The problem is that nobody really uses email anymore. So you might be right, but it should show people why 95% of all the Internet traffic being garbage is pretty damning for businesses or communities that have been built upon it.
