You know, at this point I should just make the “birthday” of Catbox April 14th.* Low resolution AI generated porn* Tiktok Videos from the Middle East and SEA* Clearly scraped LinkedIn/publicly available photos* blob files containing junk dataClearly this is not the “organic” traffic I mentioned earlier, and since the IP addresses are so varied, it’s clear something is happening here. I was alerted by someone that Claude will use Catbox in its coding projects as a “dumping ground” of sorts for when it needs to redirect content. This is clearly an abuse of the service, and stops today. **Effective immediately, anonymous uploads from datacenter and public proxy IP addresses has been restricted.** It’s unfortunate that I had to do this, but its clear that, from a “public service” perspective, I need to have some sense of self preservation. I don’t want to kill third party tools that use the API, but the changing landscape of the internet is forcing my hand.# **Anyway, rant over! Here’s some cool statistics for you guys:*** Storage used on Catbox Prime: 217 TB* Storage offloaded to Lain: 55 TB* Average bandwidth utilization: 5.9 Gbps* Total bandwidth used last year (approx.): 19 PB (petabytes)And here’s a wonderful art piece by **Pettankon**!Thank you all again for your continued support, especially all of you that came to support me after Patreon kicked me in the face. I’m sure there were a lot of you that weren’t even aware of Catbox, but the public rally behind Catbox was huge! Thank you all again, and here’s to another year!What Spider does on catbox.moe
