Ask HN: Website with 6^16 subpages and 80k+ daily bots
It's little over a year old and now every day there's 60k-100k bots visiting and crawling the shit out of two-trillion-something sub pages...
I am out of ideas what to do with this site. I mean, it's probably one of the largest websites on the Internet, if counted by sub-pages...
What cool experiment/idea/stuff should I do/try with this website?
I'm sure AI could be (ab)used somehow here... :)
I would be add some fun with colors - modulate them. Not much, I think would be enough to change color temperature to warm or cold, but same color.
Content of modulation could be some sort of fun pictures, may be videos for most active bots.
So if bot put converted colors to one place (convert image), would seen ghosts.
Could add some Easter eggs for hackers - also possible conversion channel.
If you want to expand further, maybe include pages to represent colours using other colour systems.
is it russian bots? You basically created a honeypot, you out to analyze it.
Yea, AI analyze the data.
I created a blog, and no bots visit my site. Hehe
I highly advise not sending any harmful response back to any client.
