TBF OpenAI in particular bought access to Reddit. Otherwise yeah this is my main confusion with all of these products, Perplexity being the biggest -- how do you get around the status-quo of refusing access to bots? Just to start off with, there is no Google Search API, and they work hard to make sure headless browsers can't access the normal service. They do say "Currently, deep research can access the open web...", so maybe "open" there implies something significant. Like, "websites that have agreements with OpenAI and/or do not enforce norobot policies".
