A search engine can’t pay a website for having the honor of bringing them visits and ad views.
Fuck reddit, get delisted, no problem.
Weird that google is ignoring their robots.txt though.
Even if they pay them for being able to say that glue is perfect on pizza, having
User-agent: *Disallow: /
should block googlebot too. That means google programmed an exception on googlebot to ignore robots.txt on that domain and that shouldn’t be done. What’s the purpose of that file then?
Because robots.txt is completely based on honor (there’s no need to pretend being another bot, could just ignore it), should be
My robots.txt has been respected by every bot that visited it in the past three months. I know this because i wrote a page that IP bans anything that visits it, and l also put it as a not allowed spot in the robots.txt file.
I’ve only gotten like, 20 visits in the past three months though, so, very small sample size.
I think Reddit serves Googlebot a different robots.txt to prevent issues. For instance, check Google’s cached version of robots.txt: it only blocks stuff that you’d expect to be blocked.

This is fuckin GENIUS
only if you don’t want any visits except from yourself, because this removes your site from any search engine
should write a “disallow: /juicy-content” and then block anything that tries to access that page (only bad bots would follow that path)
That’s exactly what was described…?
