The more you use a Google feature as a crutch, the less the web is semantic.
Also, Google has increasingly made it difficult to automate searches, so the effort required to notify multiple websites increases quickly.
- r3bl 9y ago> Also, Google has increasingly made it difficult to automate searches That's an understatement. Doing something as simple as inurl:"humans.txt" ...and consuming the first three pages showed me CAPTCHA. It was done via a browser, manually. Not all links were clicked.

- clarry 9y agoA few years ago, my gmail account was suspended for suspicious activity after I sent two messages to verify that my own email server is working following some updates & configuration changes. Since then, it's been hard to justify using gmail for anything serious.

Yes, predating this and .well-known, the principle exists as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantic_URL https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantic_URL There was a website way back in the 90s which encouraged a standardisation of paths such as /about, /products, /services etc.
