Which is a problem for websites that only provide facts. If your whole business model is getting organic search engine traffic to answer a user's question (a time, a result, something they just want to know) then Google is going to eat your dinner and I'm completely ambivalent because so many of the websites that have been so expertly sculpted to dominate SERPs, are what's wrong with the web. It's why it deserves to be buried. Before posting this, I'd just seen this post about asking Forbes whether or not the latest Mission Impossible has a post-credit scene: https://bsky.app/profile/chrisplummer.bsky.social/post/3lpvxayws6s2w https://bsky.app/profile/chrisplummer.bsky.social/post/3lpvx... > If you load this page it contacts 82 IP addresses executing 256 separate HTTP transactions to download 18MB of data writing 64 cookies to your device to tell you “no” The web has been on life-support for a while. Ad-blockers just make it bearable, but its existence as an information lookup system is nearly over. It's a way to interact with online systems and —occasionally— for reading some long-form content (which is increasingly written by LLMs anyway). Isn't the future confusing.
