Cloudflare CEO Misrepresents Bot Traffic Data

Cloudflare CEO Prince claimed bot traffic surpassed human traffic online, but data shows human traffic remains at two-thirds of all traffic. The CEO used an HTML-only metric from his dashboard, ignoring the full traffic data on his own page. Training scrapers like GPTBot and ClaudeBot dominate the AI category, not agentic tools. The 'agentic' category is the smallest in Cloudflare's own classification and was not the source of the reported increase.
