Every time the Tapia article gets shared somewhere, this site sees a second wave of traffic that doesn't read like people. Bursty. Escalating. Coming from rotating data-center IP ranges instead of phones and laptops on home internet. It hits the same article. It comes back on a schedule. It's been getting more aggressive, not less, the longer this site keeps publishing.
That's fine. This is a public blog. Anyone can request a page, including a script running on rented cloud infrastructure with no name attached to it.
