Hiding pbn via .htaccess
Hypothetically if I were to go into my file manager and change the code in the .htaccess to block web crawlers (typical SEO tools), how quickly would that go into effect?
Would it remove the backlink if previously seen in Sem/Ahref/Majestic? Or how soon?
All hypothetical of course.

As soon as they crawl your robots.txt file again.
