“Does Hum filter out bot traffic?”
We divide bots into two kinds: good bots and bad bots.
The good bots use user agents that announce themselves so we are able to block them from firing events on Hum. They never appear as profiles.
Bad bots try and disguise themselves as humans so we look for activity that no sensible human would do. Primarily this is volume/time based. So if the same entity clicks x times in y minutes, they are suspended for z minutes and the pattern is sent for analysis. The variables x, y, and z are configurable by client, so we can fine tune for you based on what we’re seeing on your site.
