The 2024 Bad Bot Report suggested that about 50% of the web traffic was bots.
So perhaps the internet is not totally dead.
But depending on your estimate of how much of the human 50% consists
of polarised people being offended and everybody shouting at each
other, then perhaps there is not much meaningful "Life" remaining on the
internet.
