ATproto might not be a platform exactly, but it is an ecosystem. Programming language ecosystems don't really die but they do fade sometimes.
I think the issue with publishing via a PDS is that you're basically letting anyone republish on their own website. For comments that makes a lot of sense since they can show up under articles. But for a blog? Maybe it would be better to keep your database of articles offline, publish it to your own website, and not replicate it to the world? Instead, send a ATproto post for each article with a link to your website.
What's the downside of it being replicated and distributed?
It's got a digital signature, which can verify that it comes from you and is unaltered.
They could sell their advertising instead of yours :-)
I don't see a digital signature helping? Digital signatures can be stripped.
I mean, that is the status quo of everything published anywhere on the internet today, using any protocol, and is why copyright exists. I'm not sure how ATProto changes that equation, aside from providing additional mechanisms for authorized republication?
