In the AI overview yeah, but do you see the sites below? I wonder if it's being tuned to prefer generating its own "list of X" implementations and downranking other peoples' lists.

Google search has generally rotted. Can't get promoted for maintenance.

That’s best case scenario. Worst case is that they’re censoring the internet on a massive scale but have rolled it out slowly enough that no one noticed

https://firehose.directory/robots.txt isn't one, but comes up in Google despite that.

https://atproto.at/robots.txt is good and findable with a direct search

https://atproto.wiki/robots.txt is empty but findable on Google.

https://pulsar.feeds.blue/robots.txt is 404 and thus not indexed by Google.

https://leaflet.pub/robots.txt is good. A logged in google search for this finds this for me.

Tell the people at https://pulsar.feeds.blue to fix their robots.txt if they want to get indexed.

They are. There’s been a bunch of studies already showing how Google skews its results to align with oligarch interests.

Maybe they should have used a name that wasn't already taken... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hayes_AT_command_set

Lol, that's what I thought this was about too.

Why don't these people/companies think about how hard it will be to search for their $thing !?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Yes.

Could you link it? Curious to see how buried it is for me. Personalization is one thing but on my results I'm getting Tor relays, Nostr relays, IPFS relays, and Fediverse relays and I haven't yet seen a list of atproto relays. I'm on like page 6 now.

I'm not the same commenter, but here's a Kagi share link so you can explore their results:

Yeah like /e/ os. That's hard to search for because the slash is ignored and the e is only one letter.
