can any one explain how these bots come and go in a short period of time

They just show up on my logs and then leave after a while, no clue why they find my blogs in such big numbers.

I wish there was a way to stop bots they are going to do more damage to adult websites than any age verification ever will, I don;t mean just adding Cloudflare a way to get rid of them off the WWW for good.

I think the main problem is that good bots (ie google, bing etc) will obey what's in your robots.txt file. That's simply a plain text file in your root folder where you tell the bots what pages they are allowed to crawl.

Unfortunately, AI training bots don't give a damn and just grab as much as they can regardless

With everybody talking about putting guardrails round AI right now, somebody needs to consider the damage they are doing to websites with their millions of autonomous bots that don't obey any of our instructions

I wish I knew all I do know is as soon as I turn off the Cloudflare under attack mode they pile up n seconds.
