    There’s heavy, and then there’s heavy. I don’t have any experience dealing with threats like this myself, so I can’t comment on what’s most common, but we’re talking about potentially millions of times more resources for the attacker than the defender here.

    There is a lot of AI hype and AI anti-hype right now, that’s true.

      I do. I have a client with a limited budget whose websites I’m considering putting behind Anubis because it’s getting hammered by AI scrapers.

      It comes in waves, too, so the website may randomly go down or slow down significantly, which is really annoying because it’s unpredictable.
