I know there are plenty of software missing from here. This is just a fun infographic I made, no need to take it seriously :)

    Anubis is so lightweight you’ll forget it’s there until you look at your hosting bill.

    I don’t know if they realize this is implying it’s onerously expensive, lol.

      What’s nuts is that what made Anubis’ author go down that path was Amazon Bot (I remember precisely because they are the bot that also blew up my logs and thus forced me to take action against LLM scrappers) and… a significant share of the Web is hosted on AWS. So… Amazon is actually probably MAKING money by scrapping, no matter how inefficiently. I already hated Amazon but this is even worst than I imagined. It’s probably not by design, to be fair, but it’s also probably not something they’ll invest into “fixing” as it’s making them money. What an absolute human centipede situation.

      That amused me, too.

      I think it plays fine for the intended audience, though.

      For the folks looking into Anubis, that line plays well - because hosting costs are driven up by the kinds of spam bot visits that Anubis slows down.
