1. Establish domain names and relevant cloudflare account including the monetization gateway (associated rules, etc.).
2. Then host a ton of crap content across a wide swath of topics...not even decent quality...merely a step above old school style SEO keywords...just enough low quality "honey" to attract the AI flies, and their high volumes of traffic.
3. Charge very low amounts to ensure the AI "visitors" won't balk programmatically at the cost.
4. Then wait for lots of AI traffic (attracted by the "honey")...and then profit!
Obviously lots of holes in the above...but, unless I'm missing something, it feels like more spam headed our way (because the AI agents will swallow up all the crap content created only for triggering usage costs)...which is a shame. Because while I'm not sure about this overall approach of this gateway, I certainly would welcome web authors to get paid something for their efforts! If cloudflare can help achieve this for web authors, then I'm in favor! Of course, the cynic in me also recognizes that by being the middleman, cloudflare does stand to gain whether the volume of traffic is for good content or spam crap. Is cloudflare a new type of bank now?
Must think happy thoughts! The internet feels darker every day, but, must think happy thoughts!
