It sure looks like #Applebot no longer is a hobby. In the past my campus server would see one or two requests every few days. This spring there was a period with a few 100k requests. In the last two weeks there have been nearly 1.5M requests.

Apple documentation update says "Site rules for Applebot-Extended are not considered in ranking for Search" www.seroundtable.com/applebot-ext...
