AI made content production nearly free, but it didn't make content discoverable. As publishing scaled, the real gatekeeper became the "visibility floor," backlinks, brand history, author footprint, while AI Overviews and Reddit-favoring results shrank the pool of clicks available to new sites. Most AI-generated pages sit indexed but unread, less a failed strategy than a lottery ticket that was never meant to win individually. The widening gap between what gets published and what gets seen, not content quality, is the real story.
