Aside from the "who are these people", it's an interesting commentary on how search engines (and AI) basically have made a lot of Internet content impossible to find and access, especially with mass blocking. I had a website which was an authoritative one, which frequently was getting copied and where spam copies were showing up higher ranked (where sometimes my site would never show up at all).... it's way, way worse now with AI.

@ai6yr I'm going to assume bad faith on the part of Microsoft and go from there.
