Like every other piece of content on teh internets, this blog was being scraped constantly over the past years (especially this summer) as not only commercial brands but every possible organization has been sending its pet chat-bot out to bite anything it can get its bits on. I can only assume it's still going on and google's just masking the hits from me. Now I'm almost sorry to lose all that white noise, not just because it made me seem almost successful, but for the humour value in wondering what exactly some of these organizations hope to achieve by training their bots on the random ranting of no-name bloggers. Like getting scraped by, of all things, The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

 

We're paying you for a completely different kind of navigation, you clowns!

 

(At least now I know why my weather forecast yesterday was just a review of a Taylor Swift concert, a picture of a puppy with human hands and congratulations on my writing being the best in existence.)
