As websites where AI trains its content begin to disappear from the web, where will AI get its training from? I feel like this could become an ouroboros situation of AI training on AI content (which has already occurred). Information may become increasingly distorted as the years go by. Its more imperative now to make sure these websites stay alive in the upcoming years where information was created/sourced by real people

The Internet Archive is particularly useful in keeping individuals accountable for their actions. For example, in the upcoming US midterm elections, candidates are changing their websites with new stances completely different from before. We need these kinds of websites. But, I am a bit skeptical of the volunteering/donation route. These feel like short term solutions to the fight. Without proper political/institutional support, these websites will continue to struggle by themselves.

Another point is that other creators increasingly use subscription newsletters to connect directly with their audience. Because algorithms can shadow ban their videos or posts, newsletters have become another option for connection with an audience. A newsletter I'm subscribed to Hank and John Green's.
