I think the issue isn’t AI stealing your content but AI flooding the web with slop.
Once upon a time you could find a niche without much content, write a blog and maybe even monetise it with some ad space to pay for costs plus a coffee. A friend of mine used to make a surprisingly decent income with a blog about coi carp.
There was always the risk someone else would start posting in the same niche and then you’d be competing for attention.
Now, though, it’s trivially easy to spin up an AI powered blog on any topic with dozens of SEO optimised articles per day and no human effort required.
So now you’re not competing with one or two other humans in your niche, you’re competing with potentially hundreds of AISlop blogs.
Personally I’d look to publish your content in video format. Text is pretty much a lost game at this point, video might hold out a little longer because it’s the personalities of channel owners that keeps people coming in.
