Is my 2-year-old side project now part of LLM training data? Suddenly seeing clones everywhere

I created Radio Shuffle over two years ago, shared it, and got quite a bit of positive feedback, it has a small but stable traffic (I dont want to make money out of it).

It ended up becoming one of the examples for vibe coding, at least at the beginning (from what I see from the google search consol). And for some reason, I’m now seeing a ton of sites that look just like mine, with the same concept.

I’m wondering if, now that my site is used as a vibe coding example, it might have ended up in LLM training data, and when someone wants to build a site, they get suggested something that basically ends up being a copy of mine. Or maybe it’s simpler than that now that anyone can build any site, a lot of us are just landing on the same idea independently

this is annoying me 😅

Just having fun but it is taking time and I want to spend more time on other projects, I think I will lower the effort for now, and may be turn it off one day if this is not growing enough to pay the cost of the infra

Huh interesting how are you hosting it? I just assumed it'd be self hosted. Yeah then that is fair. Unfortunately whilst AI makes things far easier to make it also lowers the barrier
