    Is it for all the web? I would never imagine that bots could use more traffic than all people watching videos around the world.

      skimming the “report”, which is actually just advertising for a security company, i don’t think they actually define web traffic anywhere. they might mean HTTP requests, sessions, unique IP addresses, who knows.

      if it’s based on actual observations it probably doesn’t mean throughput.

        I have just read in another thread that it’s a misleading headline. The actual study mentions only traffic in login pages. Now the numbers make total sense
