$2,400/mo agencies getting rekt by $40 scripts isn't a bug—it's a feature.

Most retainers weren't selling strategy. They were selling coordination theater.

If your workflow is:

Keyword in → Article out → CMS published

That's a script's job. Not a human's.

Humans cost money. Repeatable ops should cost nothing.

The agencies that survive? They're the ones selling actual thinking—not glorified content pipelines.

Automation ate the middleman. Adapt or get faded.
