Gartner still expects that by 2028 about 15 percent of daily work decisions will be made autonomously by AI agents, up from 0 percent last year.

You've got the right idea, uploading content on old internet was (largely) about putting yourself out there hoping to find like minded people to connect with. All those "quirky, weird" websites people nostalgize over weren't seeking clout, they were seeking connection.

I think it's healthy to deprogram ourselves from the idea that "followers" are the goal of creating content. If an influencer is making "art" with the express purpose of getting followers that they can leverage into marketing deals, then are they really making art? If the goal is to make money then... that's just a job, imo.
