Is the entire idea of paying for bandwith not absurd ? You can't really control it

I have some websites with milions + autogenerated webpages and it's flooded by bot activity that I don't particularly care about.

I've blocked some through cloudflare but some look exactly like he describes: old machines with old versions of some OS and browser scattered around the globe that seem to be scanning my entire website, maybe for AI training purpose ?

The point is, I can't block them at all.

see this thread here : https://www.reddit.com/r/webdev/comments/1azv0fs/is_this_tra...

There are providers that change you for connection speed and have no limits besides that. They're more expensive.

  • I guess the questions starts for more important websites.

    I pay 10 euro / month for 3 python apps (inluding the one with the bot traffic around 22 Gb per month).

    For static websites anything more would be insane
