Comment on Tech Publications Lost 58% of Google Traffic Since 2024
cabbage@piefed.social 3 days agoYeah. Sites like CNET and TechRadar seems completely uninteresting at this point. Wired and the Verge seems to have done a better job at transitioning into reporting on how tech affects society, which is much more interesting. 404media seems to be doing well in that business.
If a tech site does their job these days their readers will not be using Google any more at all.

I really don’t think any of that is to blame, it’s always been that way. The blame it’s squarely on LLM search. People really do believe the nonsense these bullshit machines pump out. I have people sending them to me all the time. And I see creators using screencaps as sources as well. People are fuckin dumb.
