Big publishers are more than happy to settle with AI companies - they just their slice of the pie after all. But who is going to protect, say, your Hacker News comments? Are you going to sue the AI company? Is YC going to sue? Are you going to sue YC for not banning crawlers in their robots.txt?
Why would I even bother doing that? I just write comments, it's not some ineffable wisdom. I'm writing them in public. I don't expect to profit from them somehow.
Heck, collecting whatever cents I might be owed for being a drop in the ocean is a losing move in my country.
