I put helpful content online for free on my personal blog. The karma I get comes from the occasional thankful email, and coffee with strangers with similar interests. I don't even measure traffic. I just like to know that people land there and find what they need. If this corpus that took countless hours to create was distilled by an AI, it would feel completely pointless to extend it. Imagine writing a book knowing that no one will see it, but that an in-house writer at the publishing house will read it once and write its own version. They'll get credited and paid, but you won't. Some people are okay with that, but probably not the people whose words you read all day, either to solve a problem or entertain yourself.
