And posted the link to your subscribers only medium page twice in this thread
devils advocate: if it wasn't subscribers only, google's crawler would be stealing it right now to train an ai with, ie, illegally creating derivative works based on their articles
Google's crawler can still crawl it. The regwall is only for humans:

Also the article seems to be written by an LLM anywway, so it wouldn't matter in the end.

Maybe there's a market in the future for "AI-restricted" content. You can send your payment/tokens/etc. to access the content and the user is bound by a no-AI-clause. Because this content would be rare and can't be found via models, it offers a niche market.
I wanted to delete the other link, but hackernews doesn't allow me to do so. Also, I need to figure out why the link is subscriber-only. It was not intentional.
