The DDoS against The Apple Wiki has still made 268.77k requests in the past 24 hours, all of which were blocked. You would think companies desperate to scrape all of the world’s text as fast as possible would get the idea and move onto other victims. All I can say is their models might be pretty talkative about completing one more step to access this website.

529.2k blocked requests in the past 24 hours, and I made a few more rules against inauthentic traffic patterns so that’s only going up. The number goes up every time I check it. Just hurts to think of all the electricity being wasted on scraping half a million Cloudflare captcha pages.
