Depends on the site! If you're trying to sell products, you don't necessarily care so long as your products are discoverable by ChatGPT/Perplexity/an agent -- visibility/discoverability is definitely a priority for some businesses. If you're selling ads it definitely is a risk, though licensing deals are one solution but that seems to be only available currently for bigger companies.

Definitely! If your revenue comes from selling something to site visitors, you want to be scraped. If you're selling ads, (as far as we know) your options are to either offer an API or make individual licensing agreements. There's no standardized, go-to place to do this.
