lol I just watched the same WP article from 2008 on three different frontend machines get hit by three different retail IPs :
Vodafone UK
Verizon Business
Comcast Retail
Clearly this is AI scrapers using shady bandwidth resellers to avoid blocks (there is a lot of interest apparently for all my articles in 2003 outside of these three).
In case you ever wondered how excited I am that the AI bubble is going to explode and take this shitty ass economy with it
