#Neocities founder stuck in chatbot hell after #Bing blocked 1.5 million sites - Ars Technica. #BigTech #enshitification
This reeks of Microsoft trying to kill personal websites. :/
Over the past few months, the Bing search engine has completely blocked the domain neocities.org, including the front site and all user subdomains (example.neocities.org), from its search index.This is not a partial demotion, a ranking issue, or a temporary crawl problem. The entire domain is completely excluded.
In addition to excluding neocities.org from search results, when we discovered the block, Bing was also placing what appeared to be a phishing attack against Neocities on the first page of search results. This is not only bad for search results, it’s very possible that it is actively dangerous. After complaints (it required several) they deranked the suspected phishing site, but neocities.org results remain blocked, and it is possibly only a matter of time before another concerning site appears on Bing searches for Neocities (it’s easy to get higher pagerank than a blocked site).
In addition to the safety concerns, this also unfairly affects over 1.5 million independent websites hosted on Neocities, the vast majority of which are personal, artistic, educational, or experimental projects with no commercial or malicious intent. These are brilliant and wonderful sites with billions of human visitors per month and they don’t deserve to be blocked from an entire search engine for no reason.
We have repeatedly attempted to resolve this through Bing’s official webmaster and support channels, and a few internal channels. Despite these efforts, Bing has declined to reverse the block or provide a clear, actionable explanation for it. At this point, we have exhausted all reasonable avenues for remediation except public disclosure.
Because of this, we are recommending that Neocities users, and the broader internet in general, not use Bing or search engines that source their results from Bing until this issue is resolved.
In addition to Bing, there are other search engines that currently rely on Bing’s search results, including but not limited to DuckDuckGo.
If you use Bing or Bing-powered search engines, Neocities sites will not appear in your search results, regardless of content quality, originality, or compliance with webmaster guidelines. If any Neocities-like sites appear on these results, they may be active phishing attacks against Neocities and should be treated with caution.

Aside from the "who are these people", it's an interesting commentary on how search engines (and AI) basically have made a lot of Internet content impossible to find and access, especially with mass blocking. I had a website which was an authoritative one, which frequently was getting copied and where spam copies were showing up higher ranked (where sometimes my site would never show up at all).... it's way, way worse now with AI.

Not long before I can celebrate 1.000.000 visits on my website by crawlers since mid December 2025.

Wow my website is super out of date. It's like fossils over here. If anyone's interested in looking at this museum this is your last chance before I revamp it: https://spiralhalo.neocities.org/

@aartaka @hairylarry Note, DuckDuckGo has indexed neocities.org themselves in response.

Apparently, #Bing blocked #Neocities from search results and refuses to give explanation: https://blog.neocities.org/blog/2026/01/27/bing-block
