ChatGPT’s crawler GPTBot, which spiders the internet to capture information and turn it into knowledge, is the most-blocked bot on the internet, according to Cloudflare’s 2025 year in review. Meanwhile its biggest rival, Google, is the No. 1 most-allowed crawler. And perhaps even more interestingly, while ChatGPT is the most-blocked bot, it’s actually Anthropic’s Claude AI engine that is the least reciprocally beneficial service for website owners.

Every year internet infrastructure company Cloudflare publishes an analysis of what’s happening on the internet.

I wouldn't be surprised if we've already passed that for new content. I can't search for anything nowadays without it being clearly AI written garbage, especially for guides for video games.

At least when someone on GameFAQs made some shit up it was a human being looking to troll you, not some statistical bullshit machine trying to generate page views for ad revenue
