The author of @allaboutberlin on how Google AI Overviews are killing independent web publishing, citing a 70% drop in traffic after seven years of steady growth. His work trains the model. The model is replacing his site. There is no credit, clicks, or revenue. This is what the "enshittification" of the open web looks like in practice.

Hard to imagine moving to Berlin without stumbling upon his guides at some point.

Let's get the band together & outmaneuver BOTH: the dick-heads building stuff that'll destroy all good things & the greedy fuckers letting them.
Let's speak UP and educate everyone.
Let's boycott #Amazon & frog-march people away from #Meta and #Microsoft to #OpenSource & tech that tries to do more good than harm like @ecosia.
At #BigTech, #Politics, #Lobbyists: When your children are growing up in #FallOut bunkers, what will you tell them about the #World you killed?
