I see it now it’s about 15 lines down. I added “—” as a crawler to the block list, it’s very low compared to the most egregious, but let’s see what happens 😉

I have almost 50 listings since Jan, but amazingly ChatGPT in under 2 weeks or so is more than double the 2nd highest bot for the entire period from Jan up to today, at that rate ChatGPT equal almost 3 million page views for an entire year if the rate remained, 7/8K a day.

Just added grammarly to the block list!
