Alternate version:

  • You don't even bother going to a search engine because they're mostly terrible anymore
  • You ask AI to search / parse the web site - bot reads the web site
  • Site doesn't get any revenue because the site's so terrible, but you are supposed to feel bad

The open web has been in trouble for a while, and enshittification is just accelerating it.

Problem is that good sites, which do not do all the garbage listed above, do not get rewarded for that when being consumed through AI. And in that case you should in fact feel bad
