And do you think that’s how everyone should feel? If not, how is it relevant to people not liking what Google is doing?

People are certainly welcome to feel a lot of different ways, not trying to be prescriptive here. My parent asked: "what exactly do I gain by allowing Googlebot to crawl my sites?" and I was describing what I get out of it, in the hope that others might feel similarly.

Speaking as someone who is a bit more familiar with your site, the variety of content you post is really valuable. I know multiple people, myself included, who have either gone from EA to Contra or Contra to EA thanks to both being on your blog.

More broadly, I love it when an author I trust in one area writes about other topics.

Fair enough, sounds like you won’t be impacted. But the vast majority of people i read online are able to write the content i enjoy because there are paths to earn a living off it. I expect the future of llm search will leave only hobbyists and slop producers standing.
