Blocking GPTBot to "protect your content" is the dumbest GEO mistake of the year.
You didn't protect anything. You just told ChatGPT to cite your competitor instead of you when 400M people ask about your topic. The training data ship sailed — what you blocked is the live retrieval that names brands today.
Open your robots.txt to GPTBot, OAI-SearchBot, PerplexityBot, and ClaudeBot. Visibility is the asset, not the text.
The webmasters hoarding their content are the ones disappearing from AI answers. Tell me I'm wrong.
