In general I don’t really like pay-to-content models, mostly because I miss the earlier Internet times when people used to just post about shit that interested them. I think expecting money for content changes that dynamic fundamentally and also tends to produce gamey content. A good example of that is the SEO-hack “top 10 for the thing you’re searching for” results that plague search engines.
AI is only going to make this worse, as it’s pretty good at writing generic articles on topics which get talked about a lot.
I like to think that money happens whenever you’ve got a good thing going on, but it shouldn’t be the objective for content.
Earlier Internet didn’t have much means to process money online so things changed dramatically after PayPal, CashApp, Payoneer and similar online banks. I believe that change is a good thing.
I don’t follow listicles so I would not know about Top 10 anything, but I know that what changed internet more is influencers with their followers count. That was an exact point where content died and numbers took over. Followers can be bought and algo just pushes garbage, TikTok, YouTube whatever.
Everything shitty lives short; they said AI will rule, and AI can’t write a simple script and a single paragraph of content without 1000 words of precise input. I can do it myself. And my paragraph will be cool.
Yeah influencers really brought the place down the toilet too. The AI bit is interesting, it’s true that AI can only really write platitudes, it’s generic because the vast majority of the content it has been trained on is generic.
So I think there will always be a place for creative writers, but it probably means the death of copywriting as we know it, for example.
I think the Internet was better when content and money weren’t so interlinked.
