There are non-LLM forms of distribution, including traditional web search and human word of mouth. For some niche websites, a reduction in LLM-search users could be considered a positive community filter. If LLM scraper bots agree to follow longstanding robots.txt protocols, they can join the community of civilized internet participants.
Exactly. Not every website needs to be at the top of SEO (or LLM-O?). Increasingly the niche web feels nicer and nicer as centralized platforms expand.
