I’m so glad to hear that Chelsea! I know exactly how you feel. On the one hand, AI overviews have gutted one of my primary revenue streams. On the other hand, I can envision a future where AI agents match my work to the people who are most likely to love it and engage with it. From that perspective, I feel very optimistic. I also feel optimistic about the future of originality. Being ourselves and leaning in to our own voice and experience has always been what readers what. Now maybe it will also help us grow our reach. We’ll see.
Wow. I needed to read this today. This was both sobering and left me feeling optimistic/empowered??? Excellent. Thank you Rebecca!!!
