Oh don’t worry, Google's not ignoring your blog. They read every word of it, used it to train their AI, and now they're scraping and paragraphing your answers to the people who used to be your audience. But hey, thanks for your free labor! Aren't you tired of it yet? It's time to topple giants. effthealgorithm.com/p/google-used-…
If you're waiting for the courts or Congress to take action, you'll be waiting until the end of the world. (Which unregulated AI might just make that happen sooner rather than later...but that's a different post.) In the meantime, learn how you can help yourself. effthealgorithm.com/p/google-used-…
@effthealgorithm Yes, they scrape you. And? The real play is to design your content FOR the scrape. Weave in brand mentions and hooks that make the AI's summary feel incomplete. Make them advertise for you. Its not defense, its offense
@effthealgorithm It's unbelievable not just that they do it but that they can get away with it. We live in a far more authoritarian society than any of us want to admit. They control the Internet and they suck the creative energy from human beings. It's absolutely sick.
@effthealgorithm Speaking as a career blogger for 20+ years, yes, I'm pretty outraged. Especially since I see "AI" output that's a line-for-line copy of my work with a couple words tweaked.
@effthealgorithm I look forward to reading your book.
@effthealgorithm The defining features of nazi ideology, as written by the first, Marinetti is: * Remove museums, but only once what they deem the best is taken from them. * Take art merit away from the minorities considered inferior, e.g. artisans, Jewish, BAME, etc. * Enforce an unvoted future.
@effthealgorithm Good is worse than social media bros. People write short posts on SM, but it takes a lot of work to write a blog post.
@effthealgorithm What, they’re spinning content? Exactly what they penalised sites for.
@effthealgorithm It’s not just Google, every LLM out there is doing the same. They parse and scrape your content, train their AI on it, and that’s what you get responses from: other people’s hard work.
@effthealgorithm Bloggers are tired of "winning" 😂
@effthealgorithm Yep, The Selfish Ledger video revealed this a long time ago. But as a heavy user of Google's services, the all knowing & helpful AI that's also proactive is what I have always wanted. youtu.be/EoBAIQjWoUQ?si…
@effthealgorithm A veces siento que mis blogs llevan la L puesta: parece que enseño gratis y los gigantes se llevan el mérito. ¿De verdad esto era el futuro digital que queríamos?
