What it is

Amazon's crawler, feeding Alexa's ability to answer questions from the web and Amazon's own search and assistant products.

What blocking it costs you

Alexa and Amazon's assistants stop answering from your pages. Verify with reverse DNS to crawl.amazonbot.amazon before trusting the user-agent.
