   @Catvalente It's not just content, it's software too. Why have any other app when you can just ask Google to do it?

     It’s hard to escape the dawning realization that part (or all) of the goal of Google’s AI Overview is to simply eradicate the concept of anyone else having any kind of website at all.

     Why click on a link & explore when Google told you the answer & you didn’t know it was wrong?

     Google’s long-con loss-leaders have been nothing but a ramp-up to replacing the entire internet with itself—& a single content creator they never have to pay.

     Except in the energy of the whole planet.
