This is such a disaster. Small publishers still utterly rely on Google for traffic and discovery, and Overview by all counts seems to be decimating both.

Google says AI Overviews drive more traffic to a diverse mix of publishers. But it has never shared data to back up that claim. @daveyalba & I spoke to 25 creators who painted a different picture. Several are out of business. One is on food stamps. Our latest: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

NEW: Spoke to 25 small publishers about the kind of impact Google's AI changes to search has had on their businesses. Things don't look good—not for the publishers, and not for the quality of information out on the open web, which ironically Google itself relies on. Gift link: bloom.bg/43Jmzk3

“Because Google’s AI is trained on the web, its answers are a kind of remixed version of the web itself, while also distorting the economy that gave rise to the modern internet by potentially cutting the sites out of the equation entirely.” ~ @davey.bsky.social 🔗 bloom.bg/41W2wwl

Hmmm… calling on Bluesky detectives… a family member is getting a recurring charge on Apple Pay to a mysterious weekly subscription that I simply cannot find on the App Store. I’m 99% sure this is a scam, but I cannot locate this app. Has anyone seen it before?
