Top 100 / flickr.com
Two different webs
6 of 14 AI agents get the full page at https://flickr.com/. Checked 2026-09-25 09:18 UTC.
flickr.com scores 69 out of 100 for machine visibility, number 65 of the 100 most visited websites checked on 2026-09-25. 6 of 14 AI agents receive the full page: 1 of 8 training crawlers, 3 of 3 AI search indexes and 2 of 3 assistant fetchers. All 8 refusals are written in robots.txt, which is the transparent way to do it. The pattern is "cite me, don't train on me": 7 of 8 training crawlers are refused while 5 of 6 search and assistant fetchers get through. There is no llms.txt.

- infoTraining blocked, citation allowedTraining crawlers are refused while search and assistant fetches get through. This is the common "cite me, don't train on me" posture.
- lowNo llms.txtOptional, but a short curated index at /llms.txt is the cheapest way to tell assistants what matters on this site.
