Reddit’s CEO just said that Google still crawls Reddit. But AI Mode doesn’t send anyone back 😳
20 years of one deal. You write. Google sends people. You get paid
Now:
- Reddit lost 1M+ Google referrals per week in October
- AI Overviews cut clicks to the #1 result by 58% (Ahrefs)
- Reddit stock fell 29% on Friday. Alphabet lost $475B in a day
Google still needs the content. It just stopped paying for it with clicks
Reddit can lock content behind a login. A small publisher can’t… The Internet is entering a new era, yeah
