This might be a hot take but this is how I feel. I run a number of socials and have some websites. I have been fairly successful in that I was able to earn a living from the comfort of my home, working around 4 hours a day. Since around 2022, I saw everything going down. Revenue, traffic, views, followers, interactions, sales, etc. etc. I am somewhat of a jack of all trades when it comes to earning online so I was able to shift things around to make up for losses but I still took a sizable hit. The only thing I can see changing everything this drastically and all at once is AI. I know this is around the time when everyone started using it. Companies started putting it in browsers, on phones, in online stores like Amazon. It was all over social media (and still is) and I saw massive amounts of it all over YouTube. I will be transparent in saying that I hate most of it so maybe my blame is factored by this, I don't know. I just feel like AI is ruining the internet. Especially for freelancers and those of us that multitask online for a living. Am I the only one that feels this way?
