Google is quietly burying the internet – is there a solution?

Google’s new AI Mode doesn’t just summarize the web. It sidelines it. What started with AI Overviews is quickly becoming a full takeover of how we interact with online information. Here’s what you need to know: ↳ AI Overviews push actual links down the page AI Mode barely includes them at all. ↳ Instead of sending you to websites, Google now encourages follow-up prompts inside its own tools. ↳ The result: fewer clicks, less traffic, and a slow starvation of the open web. ↳ AI Mode feels cleaner and more useful because it skips the clutter Google’s own algorithm helped create. ↳ But it’s built on content scraped from the same sites it now sidesteps. ↳ This isn’t just innovation it’s an extraction. A move to own both the question and the answer. ↳ And it’s happening under the banner of “intelligence,” not search.
