@glenngabe What stinks, too, is even if you turn off the llms.txt, you can't disable "Convert Posts to Markdown" without a Pro account :/

[Sarah (she/her) @SarahBlocksidge]

@lilyraynyc Agreed. I've seen non-marketing takes about how awful Google's AI overviews are since they released. A lot of digital marketers are in their own bubble, honestly.

In non-SEO-related news: I can't stop thinking about how good Project Hail Mary was.
