So many people, orgs, etc run bots, especially distributed bots, on AWS.

If it was up to me, I would block all AWS since none of the AWS traffic are "real users", to my knowledge.

Man, this A6 Bot is malicious. It's killing the site. Mostly running from so many AWS netblocks that i"m starting to block huge AWS blocks (some overlapping as I have not had time to clean this up):

Code:
iptables -A INPUT -s 35.164.186.253/24 -j DROP #         A6 Indexor
iptables -A INPUT -s 35.166.71.145/24 -j DROP #  A6 Indexor
