New study finds bots and fraud farms responsible for 73% of web traffic::undefined
I mean, that commenter said the headline was a misinterpretation because it’s not 73% of web traffic, but only account creation attempts.
If the attempts are stopped, and the bot fails in creating an account, it isn’t able to post/comment/do whatever it needed to do, and isn’t contributing to “web traffic” as much as the other 27% of real people (or, well, uncaught bots).
