A shift to AI-generated search results will decrease the traffic that Google sends to publishers' sites, as more people get what they need straight from the Google search page instead.
Canada just passed legislation forcing Google and face book to pays for each showing (or redirecting?) of a Canadian news url. The law aims at redistributing money from internet giants back to news sites. Google and Facebook are threatening to just outright stop including Canadian news URL.
It’s a bold move from the government, I’m not for how I feel about it.
Apparently, from articles I read about the Canadian law, Australia tried something similar but fang got it reversed.
The problem is that Canada is a small market. FANG doesn’t need the revenue from it but they would hate for these laws to become popular so they’ll try to make an example out of Canada.

I hope other countries follow. Google and especially Bing with chatgpt are stealing a lot right now
