And as advertisers get declining human views on their ads, the value of the business model will dwindle until it needs to be replaced by other forms of revenue. Content that can't shift business models and requires revenue to continue will die off.
Edit: Maybe that's fine, maybe that's bad. Maybe new models will emerge and things will reshape. But I'm just supporting the case that AI agents will pressure the current "free" content economy.
- beeflet 2y agothe free content economy is bogus, I am part of a growing segment of users that just block ads anyways.
- disiplus 2y agoI'm also and I pay for the services that I use to not see ads, but I don't pay for every single one. For example a local classified website is financed by ads, and I don't think anybody will pay for just looking at stuff there. Maybe they can switch to the model where the person puting the thing for sale would pay but hat is something where we are not currently.
- Alupis 2y agoIf that's the case, then you might as well just list it on eBay and skip the local classifieds/craigslist/facebook/whatever. Is that a world we actually want?
