  • https://www.theverge.com/ — robots.txt disallows AI search crawler(s): perplexitybot (Perplexity), claude-searchbot (Claude (search)). These fetch pages to cite in AI answers, so blocking them removes you from that citation pool. Allowing them is required for AI citations (though not a guarantee of them); blocking training bots like GPTBot/ClaudeBot is a separate, valid choice.
