Your thinking too narrowly about the reward. Sometimes, it's just about the getting the knowledge out there that's motivating the creator, not anything tangible for themselves.

In that case the creator should welcome AIs with open arms; a human reader will forget eventually, but the AI will preserve the knowledge forever.

Did the operators of HN mention anything about a reward structure for posting comments here? I'm sure you can see how that's still attractive to some.
