Jonathan @jonathanmb32.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Kinda cool of Elijah Wood that after being top-billed in three of the biggest movies of the young century, he chose his first big follow-up role after those movies to be the 6th-billed massive stalker creep in a post-modern RomCom. 160 0

Jonathan @jonathanmb32.bsky.social · 20/07/2026We’re also seeing “election denialism” in how they’re treating the audience scores available, claiming Rotten Tomatoes is “blocking negative reviews” while holding up the obviously-review-bombed Metacritic “showing a more accurate picture. “ 152 0

![Article excerpt:
Around December 2025, we saw another big spike in traffic which I attribute to agentic AI: a combination of AI agents that scrape sites in response to prompts, and people being able to write agents that scrape sites.
Like every data-rich site, by early 2026 The Numbers was being hammered hard by AI bots scraping its pages over and over at an industrial scale. Bruce says that only 10% of their traffic is from humans browsing the site, with the rest coming from AI bots and automated traffic.
