I am feeling it pretty hard. My work is as important as ever, but my traffic is down 75%. I am competing with LLM slop, with the search engine itself, and with LLM agents that paraphrase my work.

The worst part is that they're not replacing me! I'm still the one going out there, networking, asking questions and writing about what I find. Just so that their bots can hammer my website and use my work to metastasize faster.

Fucking parasites, the whole lot of 'em.

I will probably survive, but so many websites won't. Even if they do, they might drown in the noise of the torment nexus.
