Google changed the deal
Google built the web on one promise:
Create content → get traffic.
Now that’s changing.
With AI Overviews, Google reads multiple sources, summarizes them, and shows the answer directly, no clicks needed.
The impact is already visible:
• Clicks down: 42%
• Mobile searches: 77% end without a click
The twist?
AI is trained on the same content it’s now replacing.
Publishers built the system.
Now they’re being cut out of it.
