why do people keep having their content for free for google to use? it doesn't make sense anymore. the google web social contract is broken, there is no tit for tat anymore. only paywall sites get it right now.

thats a good idea to open source it, after cleaning up the code. I plan to keep it running for the foreseeable future since i use it. I have added self-service ads for now.

i like learning stuff and working with smart people, and my self-employment leaves me enough time to do it. i m too old for academic ambitions anyway
