Base director @antoniogm predicts AI agents will become the biggest source of revenue for online publishers within 10 years: "Programmable money is very nice until the bots start programming money, and then it's like, holy shit." "At Spindl, we ran a campaign and saw no page views but all these on-chain conversions. We thought they’re gonna fire us. And the client's like, bots are humans too, we’re happy." "Crypto has speed run all the crazy stuff that's gonna launch now, and you’re seeing it manifest in regular AI. Crypto was the canary in the cage." "Your bot scrapes 20 sites, and right now those sites don't get paid. The bot pays half a cent for the content." "Within 10 years, the AI line item on most publisher sites is gonna be the biggest one. Not humans." @base
