Interesting point. But, ChatGPT/AI summarization and Tiktok-style speech-to-text that the "Eternal September" perferrers are being trained to eat up.

What is your thoughts on that altering the dynamic?

I don’t think that alters the dynamic much. There isn’t much point generating low quality long form text content for the Eternal September crowd because they’ll just ignore it anyway. The filtering is on the consumer side, not on the producer side.
