In a world where people gravitate to LLMs for quick answers instead of wading through ads and whatnot, it seems like you would want an LLM to site your content for further context. If the user just wanted an answer, they probably wouldn't have spent much time on your site.

The ads and whatnot are why the site exists! That’s the point, with the content being the hook. If people aren’t looking at the ads, it’s a loss.

Ha, but ads and whatnot are not a requirement for a website.

Plus, why wouldn’t llms be able to crawl websites as well?

Are llms going to improve the web or fragment it further as ads did?
