What is videootvBot?
About
videootvBot is a crawler that extracts the newest articles from publisher websites via feeds or HTML parsing to create carousels with images, links and text for native ads modules to improve content recirculation. You can see how often videootvBot visits your website by setting up Dark Visitors agent analytics.
Expected Behavior
Fetchers visit websites on-demand. They're normally dispatched by apps to present metadata about a link (e.g. the title and thumbnail image) to a user.

Should I Block videootvBot?
Probably not. If you block a fetcher, it won't be able to fetch the metadata it needs to display a link preview. Fewer people will click on the link to your website without this.
How Do I Block videootvBot?
You can block videootvBot or limit its access by setting user agent token rules in your website's robots.txt. Set up Dark Visitors agent analytics to check whether it's actually following them.
