Borderline visible. AI bots can crawl This Is Not News, but the structured-data signals are thin - you are at real risk of being skipped when buyers ask ChatGPT, Claude, or Perplexity for a recommendation.

About This Is Not News
from our crawl and measurement
This Is Not News is a business whose own site puts it this way: "Skip to content This Is Not News Philosophy, public affairs and pop culture." When AI engines look at it, they find little to work with. It scores 3.4 out of 10.
On its own pages the site does well on a clear heading structure. It is passable on basic crawler access and partial sitemap and link coverage. What holds it back is a clearly stated business identity, credibility markers like credentials or reviews and structured data describing the business.
Off the page there is only faint evidence that only a handful of sites link to it. Beyond that, the domain does not yet read as established, AI engines do not yet recognise it as a distinct business, there is no press coverage to draw on, nobody is discussing it where AI engines look and it does not come up on Reddit. None of that can be fixed on the page: it has to be earned.
The site links to no social profiles, so there is nothing tying the brand to a wider presence.
