    If they set strict level, all bots are blocked.

    I don’t know what you don’t understand. These bots are not labeling themselves as bots. They are camouflaging themselves to look like any other type of traffic.

    VC funding happens because the result is profitable.

    No, VC funding happens because investors are duped into thinking the result is profitable.

        I’m not and your tone is completely unnecessary so maybe dial it back a bit.

        Yes, VC funding can be profitable. It’s also often not. Like any other investment. Corporations will absolutely lie and blow smoke up their ass if they think it can get them more money.

          often

          rarely. Because the overall trends from the 2 links I shared show that it is more often profitable, resulting in a net return on investment.

          My tone perfectly reflects my level of respect for you being ongoingly confidently wrong. Sorry if that hurt you. Cheers.
