AI bots scraping publishers’ sites for real-time information are now scraping publishers’ sites more than the bots used to train large language models. And they’re harder to detect.
That’s according to the latest report from TollBit, a data marketplace for publishers and AI companies. From Q4 2024 to Q1 2025, bot scrapes used for Retrieval Augmented Generation, or RAG, per site grew 49%. That is nearly 2.5 times the rate of training bot scrapes (which grew by 18%) in the same time period.
An increase in bots scraping content from publishers’ sites represents a threat to their businesses. But scraping for AI training and scraping for real-time outputs present different challenges — and some opportunities — for publishers. And not all of them are fully understood.

Future is betting on AI to boost recirculation – and make that stickier audience more appealing to advertisers.

As Substack invests in video content, the platform’s smaller creators stand to gain the most subscribers and advertisers by embracing the medium.

In early March, the company enabled video posts for mobile users for the first time; two weeks later, the platform rolled out its first TikTok-style video feed.
Six months into 2025, however, Substack’s video push has resulted in mixed results for creators on the platform, with the impact of video on individual Substackers’ subscriber growth varying widely depending on the size of the creator’s following, according to an analysis of over 58,000 active Substack accounts by Subalytics, an influencer marketing agency that focuses on Substack, Bluesky and Medium.
