    Selling access means

    Selling access means the content is primarily available to the extremely privileged - huge “AI” grifts, etc.

    plus it becomes an asset rather than a liability

    For whom?

      Primarily available to the extremely privileged

      My local LLM narrowly fetching and caching a page or two isn’t what’s been hitting infra across the global and making indie sites blow up or die out. Doesn’t matter if the small players can’t buy the same access as the big players; they don’t need it and it’s not really for them.

      (liability to asset) For whom?

      The balance sheet. I didn’t mean it in the abstract.
