AI has changed the Internet, and WOLF STREET needs you more than ever. Thank you!!
By Wolf Richter for WOLF STREET.
Your wonderful support is what keeps Wolf Street open to all, without paywall, to reach the largest possible audience, and it keeps the site ticking. So a huge THANK YOU!!!
As I mentioned in my fall donation reminder: The internet has changed. AI labs have stolen everyone’s work, including mine. The giants are trying to siphon all internet traffic to their AI bots and search bots. They’re training people to read content that AI presents them, instead of reading that content at the source. This has shifted internet traffic and advertising revenues away from open websites, such as Wolf Street, to these AI bots and search bots run by giants.
But YOU are the core of what makes this site tick, and you continue to come for the articles and comments created by humans for humans. Wolf Street can live without the internet traffic. But without you, Wolf Street would vanish. So THANK YOU for still coming to my site and for supporting it so generously!!!
Please forgive me for not being able to thank you individually for your donations and support. I’m a one-man show, and I simply do not have the time to reach out to you to thank you personally. So THANK YOU to all of you.
If you missed the donation reminder and wish to donate, there are 4 ways:
1. Zelle (if you use it): fast and free for both of us. Please contact me at [email protected] to get my Zelle email.
If you donated via Zelle to Wolf Street in the past: nothing has changed, same Zelle email as last time.
2. Credit card via PayPal: The “Donate” button takes you to WOLF STREET’s PayPal page. You do not need an account with PayPal. If it asks you to set up an account, back out and try again.
Tip: On that initial PayPal page: first, enter the amount where it says “$0”; second, click on the WHITE button, “Donate with a Debit or Credit Card”:
3. Mail a check (much appreciated); note the new address:
Wolf Street Corp
P.O. Box 475183
San Francisco, CA 94147
4. Mail USD cash via regular mail and a Forever Stamp, to the same address as above. If you wish to donate anonymously, or only in your commenting screen name, or first name, or whatever, this works.
Thank-you gift: a WOLF STREET mug if you donate $100 or more:
I will send you one of our second-generation 12-oz glass mugs (see photo below) to thank you for your very generous donation of $100 or more if your address is in the US, and if you would like a mug.
San Francisco artist Erika “Kitten” Lopez created the wraparound art on the mug: a funny wolf howling the WOLF STREET dictum, “Nothing Goes to Heck in a Straight Line.”
If you would like a mug, please email me and include your shipping address in the USÂ (I cannot ship outside the US). Send the email to: [email protected]
Thank you!!
Wolf Richter
Enjoy reading WOLF STREET and want to support it? You can donate. I appreciate it immensely. Click on the mug to find out how:
Your insight and analysis are always clear, to the point and direct with no fluff!
Worth absolutely every penny!
All right, all right all right. I’m gonna get off my Dupa today and write you a check. I feel I’ve mooched enough off of your insight and as another comment or noted, it’s worth every penny.
I siphoned a few bucks out of my account and sent them Wolf’s way.
“The internet has changed. AI labs have stolen everyone’s work, including mine. The giants are trying to siphon all internet traffic to their AI bots and search bots. ”
The rule of law, which America rightly believes we adhere too, has one imdemnifiable attribute: the consent of the society
The reckless taking of intellectual property is not acceptable too the kernel of America, the majority. That find themselves hapless to stop the gross incompetence of the political class.
A particularly unlikable species of obligate parasite that harshes our mellow that can only be dis-rooted by intelligent voting behavior.
The first step forward is for the normal person too actually vote.
As an aside, I think you could easily syndicate your column nationally for one helluva lot more money.
Thanks
Thanks for all your work Wolf!
I finally got my Zelle donation sent your way a few minutes ago.
I included an additional $100 to my “regular” donation as an “extra thank you” for all your work recently on the Bond/Treasury markets; Fed commentary; Inflation/etc coverage.
I appreciate your “no-nonsense” & unbiased work/analysis/thoughts.
In particular, over the last several months, I have found your Treasury market coverage very helpful – especially in providing valuable historical context and historical reference/etc – such as for the 10-Year/30-Year Treasuries – as well as for TIPS/etc.
I also continue to appreciate your timely sense of humor to help keep these things much more entertaining than they would be otherwise…
Thanks again Wolf and keep up the great work! :)
Thank you!! I sent you an email. Not sure if the email still good.
