I'm with you there. Before Stack Overflow, I credit most of my learning to what I picked up from blogs. Even after SO, blogs remained valuable because there were tutorials and code examples for things that would have been rejected as duplicates or whatever at SO. YouTube is similar, although I prefer written articles.

Now? Forget about it. As far as I'm concerned, my notes and learning experiments are private. I didn't create that world, valley techbros did. I'm not big enough for OAI to sign a licensing deal with me, but apparently I'm powerless enough that they can scrape my blog posts and Github packages and credit my work as their own.

If I share my learnings in the future, it will be for a free class or webinar, for an audience of real people. Y'know, the way the internet used to be.
