About Steve Kirsch's newsletter
from our crawl and measurement
Steve Kirsch's newsletter is a business whose own site puts it this way: "I've written over 1,700 articles about COVID, vaccines, corruption, censorship, and early treatments. The data shows that the COVID vaccines have no benefit and have killed...." To AI engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity it is partially visible, scoring 6.8 out of 10, readable in places, missing in others.
Our crawl found a sitemap. It also found the gaps that keep answer engines guessing: structured data describing the business, an llms.txt file, a heading structure that lays out what it offers.
