I fundamentally disagree with all of your claims. The web was already ruined by SEO farms and I know that cause I worked in organic growth for years, AI is not making this worse.
The traffic argument is non-sensical in 2025. serving 200kb html file costs literally nothing. So if you want to write and share something you can do it without spending a single penny, ever.
I understand the frustration and confusion here but all of this whining is lacking any real vision. Information should be free and accessible to all and the rest can be solved without changing this core principle.
So while you “protect” what you share we all will continue to grow and share information freely and actualy contribute real change not start breaking the looms.
Locking information into corporate-controlled loops is antithetical to freedom and accessibility.
Having singular proprietary point of entry, or even few of them, into the entire knowledge of mankind is not sharing.
This is the part people are willing to protect. Actual peer-to-peer sharing of information, with as little private choke points as possible.
And having the web ruined by SEO is not an argument to keep going. It’s already worse than it should be, and search engines already provide worse quality results than before. This needs to be reversed, not reinforced.
