Hmm, who’s this checking out our ads.txt? A bot called Viralize. Let me see what this is all about …
So you want to go through our website but you won’t let anyone see yours? #Yeahnah, time for a full block of this bot.

Checking its identity, I see it’s from something called Viralize, and gives a www.viralize.com address.

Viralize.com's home page shows 'Sorry, you have been blocked / You are unable to access kinsta.cloud'.
