I daresay rate-limiting will result in better outcomes than well-poisoning with hidden links that are against the policies of search engines.

Lots of potential for collateral damage, including your own websites' reputations and search visibility, with the well-poisoning approach.

The README.md specifically states how to allow for nice robots to proceed unhindered. The people behind these efforts, I would imagine, don't particularly care about their sites' reputations in the cases people use LLMs for search.

To be honest who cares about Google search anymore it's pretty useless these days.

		The small non-profit I volunteer with finds Google ads to be surprisingly effective, and much more cost-effective than FB for what they do, so there's at least some Google search usage in the demographic that they serve.
