>making it easier for LLMs to read our docs just means less traffic to our docs which means less people learning about our paid products and the business being even less sustainable.
This tells me the problem wasn't AI but the overall business wasn't healthy. Docs don't drive sales.
Before LLMs, Google was showing highlights which took crawled content and displayed it on google search results, meaning they’d get less traffic on their site while google stole their content.
It’s unfortunate that google helped kickstart the world wide web but now they’re extracting everything while polluting search results with ads
> google helped kickstart the world wide web
Where on earth did you get that idea? The web existed long before Google - Google just found a unique way to monetise other people’s content
Doesn't matter. Even if people were for some reason still going to their docs there would simply be no need for the types of paid products they offer - prebuilt template components.
Why pay for a template when AI's can shit out your entire design system and multiple templates in 5 minutes, not to mention competition from other template systems like shadcn that are completely free.
And yes they might not be the best quality but you just prompt it until you like it and then use it as a reference.
Its almost like he is asking users to take a stand between using LLMs and using Tailwind.
LLMs, or Tailwind. Pick one!
