@unrapidescape @arb8020 Maybe the real goblins are the friends we made along the way

Now the question is how content should be valued

We’re working on dynamic pricing based on demand (I.e., the more a topic is searched for, the more it should cost to scrape content relating to that topic)

Of course recency and sophistication of content will also be factored in

What other metrics should go into content valuation?

@millimoose @ethanhays @eastdakota I’m not sure there’s a viable argument AI companies could make as to why they SHOULDN’T be the ones paying for the content though…

In this instance I think it only makes sense that AI companies bear the costs of the externality they created (I.e., drop in site traffic)

Me talking shit about the developers whenever we hit a minor bug

(I am the only developer)

I don’t think people realize how blown you have to get to achieve smithereens status

[Rob Cortinas @RobCortinas]

The switch will have huge implications for digital media and online publishers

They’re not ready for the drop in traffic

https://t.co/apf08nY0Gk’s content monetization will replace the ad-supported business model

If @altcap is looking to make an investment in the space DM me 😏

low-key embarrassing: asking ChatGPT what you thought was a tough question and it hits you with this

@unusual_whales Just update the code?

if outage:
don’t
else:
please

[Rob Cortinas @RobCortinas]

Totally agree with @garyvee

And once @Google transitions from 10 blue links to AI-first search as default, organic traffic to sites will go to zero

Ad-supported digital media businesses and online publishers are dead without a significant shift in how online content is monetized

https://t.co/apf08nXsQM is helping online publishers transition to the new content economy

Seeing a drop in traffic to your site? Reach out!

@andruyeung My June 24th is open if you need one more founder 😉

[Rob Cortinas @RobCortinas]

@eastdakota Already built it - check out https://t.co/eNTGaYYHkt

[Rob Cortinas @RobCortinas]

@WSJ Exactly why I built TrainFair - no human traffic means no ad revenue.

Monetizing AI scraping is the only solution.

Also solves “fair use” copyright gray area and avoids lengthy licensing negotiations.

[Rob Cortinas @RobCortinas]

@vitrupo Agree - “browsing” the internet won’t be a thing in 3-5 years

AI agents will retrieve whatever you need

That means human traffic goes to zero, and so do ad-supported digital media companies

If you’re in digital media you need a contingency plan ASAP. DM me.

So we are really gonna get Great Depression II, Civil War II, World War III, and the AI Doom all at the same time, aren’t we?
