Seems likely that ai content is going to dilute the value per user at most platforms.
I don't know about that. Aren't advertisers paying for eyes or clicks? If that's case and AI content manages to produce more of those, I don't see how it would necessarily dilute it.
I wonder what the story is with Meta.
My completely unfounded theory is the people I know who still use fb have a massive overlap with those who don't know how to or just don't care to use adblockers.

I'd think advertisers are paying for eye and clicks that convert. If they see their conversion rate dropping, maybe they won't be so willing to pay.
Why would the conversion rate drop? Well, just from my own experience, ai content is more skimmable. I don't pay as close attention and ultimately it makes me go somewhere else.
