Hey Nika, just read your piece on Substack about big AI companies using creators' data and content to train their model for free and why that should be stopped by the likes of Prorata.ai. Couldn't agree more in principle, but do you think it's practical?
Internet is built on the basis of free data in return for traffic, like how Google or Youtube search work. Same goes for generative search experiences like Perplexity and the way they references sources.
I feel like if creators were to charge for their data, big companies may start charging them for giving their content visibility and traffic if you know what I mean...
Where do you think we're heading?
"It might be the end of the free internet as we know it. If that's the case it will create social classes on the web, those who pay for quality content and get paid for their contributions vs. those who give away their data for average content.
On the up side, AI will revolutionise healthcare, I have no doubt, it's actually underway from what I read. So a newsletter on that would have a highly engaged audience of its own."
