Blocking Amzn-User can reduce how systems from Amazon see, index, train on, or retrieve your public content. Allowing it improves technical access, but it never guarantees crawling, ranking, citation, or a positive AI answer.
Amazon states that Amzn-User may not follow all robots.txt directives because user actions can bypass them. Hard blocks need server or WAF rules.
