FFZBot
recommended: observeFFZBot is a web fetcher operated by FrankerFaceZ that retrieves content used by its Twitch enhancement services.
What it does
FFZBot usually makes a single request within seconds of a URL being shared, without crawling further. Traffic rises and falls with sharing activity, so a widely circulated link can produce a sharp burst of fetches.
