2ality blog: temporarily offline

Seeing a prominent voice in the web community for years go dark because of AI is depressing.

Two things happened recently:

The income from my book sales went from being enough for me to live off (2024) to zero (2026).

The traffic to my blog and my books (which were free to read online) increased beyond what I can currently afford. Virtually all of it comes from AI crawlers, so there is no ad income.

Finding a sustainable way of compensating authors for their work in this world where bots are scraping it all so aggressively for their own commercial gain is one of the most important problems to solve on the web.
