Wouldn’t this kill their ad revenue? Which is like…most of their revenue?
Ad supported articles is a dead industry, Google realizes this better than anyone. People don’t go to the source anymore to answer curiosities, why would you read a whole article to answer a simple question when AI gives you the answer directly?
I meant why would people advertise on Google if it won’t convert to clicks anymore?
They won’t, and I’m saying Google knows that their Advertising cash cow is running out of milk.
