This is where you start to sympathize with the news people in Canada who want google to pay for links. If google just summarizes at scale, interdicts the traffic and revenue, where's the incentive to create content?
This is a failure mode for the information economy.
- px43 3y agoIf your only incentive for creating content is harvesting attention and eyeballs, then the internet is better off without your content.
- monsieurgaufre 3y agoWith that way of thinking, you exclude almost every content, ever. Most people do not produce content to be left unread.

- indymike 3y agoI'm not sure that is the case: TV and radio use that model and are/were valuable.
- monsieurgaufre 3y agoI do agree with you. Google's behavior in regard to informations reminds me a lot of the "torrent leeches" of the past: siphon everything you can, give nothing back, ..., profit. But at a huge scale with an impact on society far more than "a few more bytes on a personal hard drive".
