Something website administrators could do is, block the DigitalOcean ASN (14061).
Some configuration may be required, it's easier if you have some kind of WAF (firewall), but seeing that most traffic from their network are bots (92%), them being blocked would hurt their clients and inevitably lower their usage in the long run.

"Bot" there doesn't necessarily imply a malicious spam/AI bot... legitimate B2B use is also included, which is a much higher percentage than illegitimate traffic. Same for AWS, other cloud providers, and even Cloudflare itself.
