The below is rather funny, at least to this person. The rate of technology change is devouring some of its own. That is web advertising click reduction due to people being content from Google AI and other web search AI summaries without having to actually drill down and select link hits for websites that Google AI got their information from freely and is now using as AI summaries that reduces probability searchers will bother to visit those websites. Websites that generate ad revenues from numbers of Internet searches. Now some are suing Google.

Is the Dead Internet Theory Coming True?


Of course, there are myriad web sites that act as information sources that tend to grow and grow as more people use them and then over time they expand whatever information. The Internet has had continual and unpredictable technology changes that have made it evolve. Many of the changes have been the result of increasing bandwidths that allow more capabilities. The biggest change so far has been the rise of smartphones and the Mobile Internet. Also for instance, the change from black and white images to tiny color images then gradually larger color images. Or the rise of YouTube when video codecs and bandwidths increased enough for video. Much more, of course.
