Google SGE and shoplifting
Google says users really like getting SGE/LLM/AI answers. That users
really don't want to bother with the blue links and visiting the sites
where Google is getting their information from (giving those sites
nothing in return) to create those answers.
Here's an analogy.
You know how many stores have had to lock up small items because they
are shoplifted so often? Some people wonder why someone would steal
every tube of toothpaste in a rack. Many stores have closed entirely
due to these thefts, leaving entire neighborhoods without shopping
choices.
The main reason this happens is because these small stolen items are
resold at ad hock street markets at vastly discounted prices.
Now, if you ask the people buying those stolen items at those street
markets, they'd tell you (1) they really like the low prices and (2)
claim they had no idea they were stolen and didn't care anyway.
Yeah, you want toothpaste. -L
