I wouldn't give much regarding the general public. If you have a small blog they're usually not your target audience. Accept that the days of "making a few bucks off of advertising" on hobby publishing are over, focus on writing about things you care about without it reeking of being written by ChatGPT and chances are people will come at some point.
If small publishers don't change their behavior in radical ways, nothing will ever change.

- jasonvorhe 2y agoI don't get what you're trying to say. I'm not arguing in favor of doing nothing in an ever-changing market, which is what Myspace and Friendster did most of the time. I'm saying the old world of "have good content/SEO and you'll see some traction thanks to Google" is dying and that you can either adapt or drown in a flood of LLM-created SEO blackhat nonsense. Google does not care about you and they've been in the "too big to fail" corner for too long. If you want content made by humans to continue to exist and want to see some of them be able to make a buck off of it, support smaller search engines and creative people and their publications.
- viraptor 2y agoI mean that services will come and go. Some will stay for longer than others, but even without a coordinated action, Google may go away. It's also losing to Perplexity and ChatGPT with many people. And many geeks are very vocal about their love for Kagi. (Including me) Things may change over time and may not be too big to fail.
