Project mention: Download numbers on crates.io too high? | /r/rust | 2023-05-31

If the crates.io team wanted to go further they could employ some invasive methods to detect bots (usually it involves a JS library that does fingerprinting on the browser - something like BotD), but I'm not advocating for it. I don't think crates.io should collect more data, they should just perform better statistics on the data they already have.
