Mission brief · Tactic 05
Pay the humans
- Difficulty
- Time
- Weekly habit
AI content floods in because it's cheap. Keeping human work alive — and not for free — pulls the rug out from under it. This one is the simplest, and the strongest.
Field steps
- 1
Pay directly: subscribe to the people you actually read, buy one original, send one tip. Money is the real vote — likes aren't.
- 2
Credit properly: when you share, carry the author's name and link. Don't let human work decay into an anonymous “found online.”
- 3
Leave real comments: one specific “this part got me” keeps a creator going more than a hundred bot likes.
