Charlie McHenry<p>How <a href="https://connectop.us/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> is eating the Internet…one search at a time - “Similarweb, which measures traffic to more than 100m web domains, estimates that worldwide search traffic (by humans) fell by about 15% in the year to June. Although some categories, such as hobbyists’ sites, are doing fine, others have been hit hard (see chart). Many of the most affected are precisely the kind that might have commonly answered search queries. Science and education sites have lost 10% of their visitors. Reference sites have lost 15%. Health sites have lost 31%. For companies that sell advertising or subscriptions, lost visitors means lost revenue.” Source: The Economist <a href="https://connectop.us/tags/ArtificialIntelligence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ArtificialIntelligence</span></a> <a href="https://connectop.us/tags/search" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>search</span></a> <a href="https://connectop.us/tags/SearchEngine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SearchEngine</span></a> <a href="https://connectop.us/tags/Google" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Google</span></a> <a href="https://connectop.us/tags/Advertising" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Advertising</span></a> <a href="https://connectop.us/tags/DigitalAdvertising" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DigitalAdvertising</span></a> <a href="https://connectop.us/tags/ParadigmShift" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ParadigmShift</span></a> <a href="https://connectop.us/tags/internet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>internet</span></a> <a href="https://connectop.us/tags/tech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>tech</span></a> <a href="https://connectop.us/tags/technology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>technology</span></a></p>
