These things would cost the same effort but bring a tiny fraction of the traffic. If it comes to that, I will find other ways to earn a living. The content and website infrastructure will still be valuable to other people, so I can have my "exit". There are lots of other opportunities to make money in my little industry, but none are nearly as rewarding as helping a ton of people for free. Worst case scenario, I can always go back to web development. I would just find it really sad if Google killed something useful and replaced it with SEO spam.
