- visarga 7y agoYeah, just like Google bot crawls the web putting enormous load on people's servers (G-Bot can pull hundreds of thousands of pages per day from a single server), while being very sensitive to automated searches and banning your ass (IP) in a heart beat. They sure don't want to be crawled by anyone.
