This expansion is reducing click-through rates to traditional websites, prompting businesses to adopt 'generative engine optimization' to maintain visibility. While some users find the summaries convenient, critics warn that the shift may amplify misinformation and disadvantage publishers who rely on ad revenue.

Reddit Bets on Human Insight Over AI Summaries as Shares Plunge

Reddit's stock fell more than 20% after earnings as CEO Steve Huffman criticized Google's AI Overviews and signaled a possible end to Reddit's roughly $60 million licensing deal with Google, arguing that Reddit's value lies in deep discussions rather than automated summaries. He noted AI tools are disrupting search referrals and cited a Pew Research study linking AI Overviews to fewer site referrals (which Google disputes). Reddit also has a deal with OpenAI, and investors worry about the company's dependence on Google referrals as the open web navigates AI disruptions.
