I feel like half my comments on Hacker News of late are essentially different shades of: Hey, I’m someone who publishes content on the internet, this new tool may be interesting, but have you thought about the publishers you may be screwing over?

Like, if someone doesn’t have a full-text RSS feed, there is likely a reason for that. Don’t take that choice out of their hands.

(The guy who I told that his preference for AI search could be harming businesses didn’t like my POV.)

“I think your mindset will just lead to a lot of people who otherwise would not want to regwall their content to do so. And if I ever do so, I will include a link to your post so they know who to blame.”

@ernie If you don't want it stolen, hide and lock it away, so that only thieves can afford it.

@SrRochardBunson I just want people to understand that making something freely accessible should not immediately be tested to its absolute limits.

@ernie @SrRochardBunson At Radio Survivor we were forced to turn off full-posts on our RSS feed because they were being used to pirate our stories onto made-for-ad sites. We could tell because the RSS-specific formatting carried over. Eventually that model subsided and we turned it back on. Sometimes small publishers are punished for their openness. So I agree just making everything free is not realistic.
