You are right here, I would challenge by saying that renouncing citizenship or risking prison time for tax evasion is more serious and far harder than renouncing a freelance platform, but I do get your point.
Me neither. We do what we have to do to earn the money we need to earn. I get that and have nothing but respect for it. I'm also sorry for what you're going through healthwise, life is difficult enough already with that as well.
Now, we probably need a separate topic for this (there probably is, I just haven't looked), and I think this is going to be juicy...
Google is just getting started, more of this will come. Think of all the sites that will be deindexed, all the aspiring entrepreneurs that will be burned because of this, all the copy that has been purchased, all the buyers that thought it was nowhere near AI, either because they assumed so, or because the seller didn't mention it.
Will these people return for refunds, complaints, compensation, review changes...?
I did think that google might just look at volume to determine if AI was used, but I saw this amongst other things so it seems that google is pretty clever at telling if it is (it doesn't surprise me) and is even using humans to judge if the content is spam.
