There’s a claim I keep running into, in blog posts and in threads and in the confident voice of someone who has Just Checked:

“I added an llms.txt. Nothing reads it. Zero hits. The whole idea is snake oil.”

I want to take that apart — not to defend llms.txt, which may or may not deserve defending, but because the evidence being offered is almost always broken. The person saw a zero. The zero was real. The zero meant nothing.
