Can’t charge for something if you’re giving it away for free.
Data’s the only moat left. Companies like stack overflow need to build revenue streams from AI or they will cease to exist.
By banning bots and then licensing some kind of access, eBay can protect itself from merely being a listing point that no human actually visits. Tailwind and their adverts via docs model, eBay and its promoted listings model, we’re going to see businesses adapt or die on this.
Note that Stack Overflow has already ceased to exist. https://xcancel.com/marcgravell/status/1922922817143660783
