Cloudflare processes 7–11 trillion internet requests per day. 20% of all global web traffic. Every request logged, classified, flagged in real time.
Not surveys. Not models. The actual internet.

We pulled their US data from the last 90 days.
👉 45% of all traffic is automated
👉 71% of actual web page requests are bots
👉 416 billion AI scraping requests blocked since July 2025 — just the ones they stopped

The open internet is realigning from human-to-machine to machine-to-machine. Faster than most thought.
Agent-to-agent is the Silicon Valley pipe dream. But it's already happening indirectly.
✔️ Mom asks ChatGPT what stroller to buy
✔️ Value shopper asks Perplexity for coupon codes
✔️ Traveler asks Claude to find the cheapest route to Fiji

The LLM crawls the open web to answer. Learns. Builds context. Never sends the click back.

Anthropic: 500,000 crawler requests per referral. OpenAI peaked at 3,700:1.

The content gets extracted. The visit never happens. The publisher gets nothing.

If publishers thought adblocking was bad — this can be worse.

The entire open web was built on one assumption: humans engage, humans see ads, humans buy things.

That assumption is eroding. Now.

The future may quietly be here already. Are you prepared for it?

@NJTRANSIT, your new app sucks. If you are interested in how your users actually use your app and will take that feedback to correct the UX, please dm me.

@GovSherrillNJ Please explain this $48 million calculation.

Riders, whether they have tickets or not, will be paying fares.

You already short change daily commuters on the number of cars—so you will need to add more cars, for sure. But $48M? Come on.

The sales tax proposal is a disaster for residents within the area of proposed increase.

The additional tax and consumption revenue (without the ridiculous proposed increase) that the state earns should dwarf any additional investment.

Please don’t pretend that this is anything other than a scheme to gouge your tax base further than we already are.

100’s of millions of Americans feel the same way every April 15th.

@MySportsUpdate @DDuggan21 In fairness if the Athetic traded @DDuggan21 they can kiss my subscription good bye.

Crazy that DoorDash, the company that exists because we’re lazy, will be going bankrupt in 18 months because some dude was too lazy to order DoorDash and just had his agent build his own version

Oldie but a goodie…

The fact he said “I’m here live, I’m not a cat” was the icing on the cake.

It’s been 5 years since this legendary meeting.
