Something I found interesting

This is the recent traffic data from VocaDB.Net. As you can tell, there is a large spike in the data in December of 2025, at 128327 organic visits that month, compared to a previous average of only about 2000. Does anyone know what was happening at that time for the site, or Vocaloid in general? I do remember becoming interested in Vocaloid at that time, but I only was active through YouTube until I discovered VocaDB this year. I just find it curious and strange to see something like this!

Potentially AI bots scraping the site. A lot of people have had issues with forums, code repositories, bug trackers, databases such as VocaDB, and the like being hammered by them in the past year. Unlike well-behaved search engine crawlers, which identify themselves, they pretend to be a regular web browser and rotate through residential IPs to avoid being throttled.

Edit: though we are also having Miku Expo, PokeMiku, DecoMiku and a new Miku voice bank all since last fall, so that could also be a bit of a bump.
