I really hate slop writing. I was looking at Google's robots.txt today, found that Google explicitly blocks Yandex, so I decided to look into why, I found [Google blocks Yandex: A Tale of Two robots.txt Files](https://medium.com/@nikurusov/google-blocks-yandex-a-tale-of-two-robots-txt-files-c99bf8eb7529), and I was expecting a "tale". The article is just a small disappointing slop. I miss when even the shortest low-quality blogposts on the internet would have been at least some kind of genuine thoughts #[LLM](https://lr0.org/blog/t/llm/#y4p7m3x6q9z2) [\[permlink\]]
