Spent all day 'cooresponding' with Pinterest and mediavine re: stolen content and photos on spammy AI food sites. Like I love spending hours and hours on testing, baking, photographing, editing, writing, marketing, and optimizing 1 single recipe post - only to have it stolen ... ugh. 🤬 - ThreadSky

Google killed my first blog and I lost out on advertising, brand deals, the works. So I started this one on a new topic hoping it would be more social media friendly only to have AI bros making those creepy FB pages with stolen content. I'm so done with this some days. I feel ya.

Ugh - so sorry to hear that! All of that work down the crapper! I made it my mission yesterday to pester one of those creepy sites. And managed to get my content removed. I can only hope that they'll all get shut down for theft. That's all I want for Christmas! 🫠

Your work is beautiful, and it is worth fighting for. I myself have spent lots of time firing off DMCA's instead of just being able to focus on content.

Literally all day yesterday and most of today! Thank you for the kind words. It's like another job for us legit creators - on top of everything else!

Hmm 🧐

I may have thoughts to mitigate in the longer term.

No promises let me do some researching ask some friends some things.

I’m a professional scraper just from decades of back end work.

However I’m not on any social media site with a real presence. I’ll set up there and follow observe 🙏

I am so exhausted with AI too. I wish there were something encouraging to say here 😔

I had to be talked off the ledge yesterday bc AI and stolen pins show in search before my top pins. I got a few taken down ... small victory I suppose.

It seems like, for the most part, social media and ad companies just don’t care as long as they’re making money 😩

butterandbliss.bsky.social•79 days ago

1000 percent agree!

I mean my real thought, is working with friends to Ai train on your work, then build it into a sniffer array and scrape your account for cookies. Then set the AI to track that.

Eventually automate your report system, they doing respond you escalate the emails 😳🤭😈

It would be great if someone could come up with some backend code - and when our content is put into AI/ML it would return something like the laughing skull from Independence Day! 😅 In all seriousness- I know stuff is going to be stolen. What makes me mad is that they make $ off it.

That’s the proper use of ai and scraping btw
