Sarah Perez, "Google Search as you know it is over" https://techcrunch.com/2026/05/19/google-search-as-you-know-it-is-over/
"AI Overviews are now used by more than 2.5 billion monthly users; meanwhile, its conversational #search mode, launched last year, now tops 1 billion monthly users."
Astounding numbers.
"Combined, these changes will likely further decimate Google referrals to publishers, which have already been suffering from declining referrals due to AI Overviews. This has put some ad-dependent media operations out of business, and now things will likely get worse."
