I maintain a blog that I write myself, and a blogging bot on a separate site/domain, which I run as an exercise/sandbox. They both get traffic. Neither site is optimised for SEO. Looking at analytics (Matomo on my blog, Google Analytics for the bot), the stuff I write myself gets "real" visitors. People will stumble on a project, and you can see them navigate to the next article, and the next article. The content from the bot isn't engaging - people might stumble on it, then bounce. Absent search, interesting content gets shared. Blog spam does not. I don't worry too much about my content being used to train LLMs - I don't feel it takes away from me, it a bit feels like content getting indexed by a search engine. And I see value, for me, in just creating it.
