- https://forgemesh.io/wordpress - a wordpress plugin and with just a few clicks watch the money roll in, ay? Superb. How good is it at differentiating traffic? Won't human users and legitimate search engines be walled-off? Is there a way to see a leaderboard of all the installs? Expecting a Vue3 version? Bots can also fake real humans, is there a way to create a hive-mind for immunity against them? In this way, I wonder if it's worth forming a "union of sites" and splitting the x402 proceeds while also helping bots find the right content.
In the end it could lead to mirrors for bots to feed from. So one paid site entry leads to many copies shared between friends, and anyone really.
It it possible to paywall everything with the price falling (or rising) the older it is or the more (or less) a single visitor takes?

- I ran into a similar thing running a dense LLM that doesn't use many MoE experts with vast knowledge. It ends up doing a lot of searching. In the end my local AI is as free as electricity but I pay for the searches.
The search providers I pay likely don't pay their sources. Some others (that I don't use) don't even have the original text only providing summaries. Some offer both.
