The other platform I'm using is Mastodon. I don't know of any way to monetise it, but people there are pretty anti-AI. They can be a bit 'holier than thou', but then it's a lot of geeks who may be quite smart.
It's inevitable that people will use bots to exploit anything they can. We've had the issue of crappy clickbait ads on various places for years and they may just be making stuff up now. I don't know what defences there are against that.
I know booster is also on mastodon. I like the concept of Mastodon myself. Maybe I'll squat on my handle there, at least that. Although It might be taken.
What is your goal with mastodon if I may ask?
I'm mostly on there to follow certain people and I don't post much. There's some cool stuff there.
