Re:Ask HN: Does robots.txt serve a real purpose? by geekishmatt on Thursday March 03, 2016 @03:39AM (#11215692)
robots.txt is the "(Web) Robots Exclusion List".

Any web robots should parse your /robots.txt before accessing any site, but it's still the robot's (or its programmer's) choice to use it.

So: No, but still add it to your site and maintain it.
