nice one if you’re a human and you’ve made it here. you’re vastly outnumbered by the robots. they are search engines, ai crawlers gathering training data, marketing tools and security scanners, scraping, filing, shuffling. it reminds me a lot of flotsam and jetsam in the sea.
This site has no cookies and no analytics, and it never keeps anyone’s IP address. A visit shows one mark with a country on it: no name, no city, no device, no time on the page, no route through the site, no record of where you came from. A visit only counts as a person once the page has stayed open for 4 seconds (programs rarely wait), and that is all the timing there is. So that one person isn’t counted again on every page, your browser keeps a note of the week it was last counted, in its own storage; the note is never sent anywhere, and later pages that week count as page views, not as another person. What this piece studies is the bots.
