It's not about being searchable, it simply gets more clicks because of our stupid human brain. That's why there is a surprised face on half of them.

It makes a noticeable financial difference for creators and almost everyone seems to have accepted it.

Unfortunately, I agree.

> Just 60 per cent of long-distance German trains arrive on time, down from 84 per cent two decades ago.

If that's from the official statistics, it's even worse. The definition of 'on time' has expanded (6 minutes late is perfectly punctually and on time, right?) and they stopped counting trains that are too late by simply canceling them. If the train is not running, it cant be late. Brilliant.

My guess is that they tried to block bot activity and some bots had Linux as UA.

Besides the spawn area, most blocks have never been touched. It's a lot of blocks.
