Techrights Hates Slop Bots
They benefit nobody; they help sham "companies" (borrowers) fake productivity, equating data hoarded with "value"
Everybody seems to want "traffic", but what happens when a lot of it is bots, which increase bills? Does this "traffic" benefit anybody? Is it beneficial to slop companies? In turn, perhaps inevitably, they do severe damage to accessibility.
This past week it seems more or less certain that Techrights served a record number of Web requests, but about half (or most) of them are bots. This does not affect our billing, but if the slop bubble does not blow up soon (curbing its most visible nuisance, the scrapers), the site will become slower.
The "slop bros" (who cheat everyone, not just their wives) aren't heroic, they're just the latest Bernie Madoffs out there. In my experience, slop bros are very violent lunatics who lie all the time and suck up to "Power". They view women as toys or objects. They lie to judges reflexively. They're a lot like chatbots. █
