What makes you think that the smolnet will not be used for AI training? After all, the whole content is text-based, which makes it easier to use for AI training.

The smolnet operators will not even get paid for it. The big operators can put API limits and other road-blocks to prevent AI and other companies to drain their content. The smolnet has no means to prevent. Especially with Gemini you can't even block the content hogs by putting up captcha's. (No cookies, only rudimentary picture support, only rudimentary data entry)
