Same - I wrote on the web for 25 years (2000 to 2025). I can attribute hundreds of thousands of dollars of income to it. I no longer have any websites, as nothing came out of it for a couple years. ~90% of all my traffic ended up bots.

And if you put up a website now (without existing backlinks, etc.) bots will be >99% of your traffic.
