Comment on The internet kind of sucks right now
skisnow@lemmy.ca 2 days agoLet’s say I scraped a guide you wrote about something you spent a lot of time researching, and then republished it as a Kindle eBook for $5 with my name listed as the author, whilst at the same time the site you posted it to went bust due to losing all its traffic to Google’s AI summaries. Would you consider it petty to object? After all, I’m increasing its audience for you.

I would. If you wanted to make money from it, you should have sold it as an eBook instead of posting it to some forum.
