Developers are not the enemy... use best practice knowledge to configure SEO data, and collaborate with them! Remember -- they're nerds too... also... typically implementing my site changes. https://t.co/PDyYiJ7NMs

@JameyBrew Yeah easy enough to add additional subfolder properties... Can't believe Screaming Frog already is pulling this https://t.co/xm9GGRTdZ3

Regarding no longer having of the noindex directive in robots.txt @methode - I know these sites should not return 200 for non-existent URLs, but this is a good example of spam that could more easily be mitigated vs having everyone deploy a noindex https://t.co/89tu7ijXoh

@fighto @g33konaut @JohnMu If Googlebot uses an "evergreen" Chromium headless browser - seems like Google would have to proactively ensure UA continues to send. If Googlebot UA doesn't send, wouldn't it break every SEO tool that does log analysis?
