Ya, I'm already seeing a bunch disappear.

I am curious what it looks like when you need a good product review in two or three years. Is YouTube the only trustworthy source by real people? For most products, the web is just going to be Astroturfed Reddit posts and Forbes AI-written junk that didn't even have the product to test.

I'm hoping paid MCP data sets might get there, then I could make my data available there, and hopefully make a $1 to $4 per thousand requests to the data set. If that replaced the loss of Google traffic, that would be amazing.

I'd love for 25% of my AI subscription to go toward that each month, i.e., I can pull "a list of all science fiction books the NYT recommended in the 1950s" and it gives NYT a few cents to go through their data...
