yes, that is the link linked here, that i’m commenting on… seems off to respond to my response with the same link i’m already commenting on….
but here i’ll quote it:

Update 2: While Adam did not specifically say the traffic drop is from Google Search, I have to assume that to be the case. What other source of traffic can have such a devastating impact on a company? AI Overviews have shown, despite what Google has said, to hurt traffic to many publishers

it’s just people blaming their failure on ai overview… which is fucking stupid

every programmer worth their salt knows ai overview is inaccurate and incomplete
