Cloudflare says the internet now has a second audience
Original: The Internet has a second audience
Cloudflare published a piece arguing that the internet now serves a second audience: automated AI systems. Alongside human readers, websites are increasingly accessed by crawlers and bots that scrape content to train models or generate answers. The piece raises questions about who consumes web content, how publishers should respond, and whether machines rather than people are becoming the main readers of the web.
Why now: Websites and publishers are grappling with how AI bots consume their content, making the idea of a machine audience topical.
Rank over time, top of the chart is #1. 4 snapshots from 4 h ago to 44 min ago.
