What a useless idea, rather than sending people to sites so they can make money through site adverts, wringing every little penny from them. Google can make more money from AdSense adverts on sites than simply giving answers. These offer walls are a major turn-off; they'll force people to use chatbots. Its not just me whose said this, Gabriel said this too months ago.
I hope the spinless politicians finally grow a backbone and come up with a federal law in our favour. The politicians forced Trump to withdraw AI from the Big Ugly Act and they voted down Ted Cruz's act by 99-1.

<blockquote>The executive order is almost certain to be challenged in court and tech policy researchers say the Trump administration cannot restrict state regulation in this way without Congress passing a law. </blockquote><blockquote>The order also directs Sacks to work with Congress to help draft legislation.</blockquote>Sacks is AI Venture Capitalist so no conflict of interest there then.
Yeah, so far so good! Not seeing anything visible the days before or now. Too early to be sure, of curse. Let´s see how it turns out. Exciting time ahead! :-)
Webmasters should sue AI companies in courts around the world court in every country for stealing content...those content stored at the publisher server...
Webmaster should also flood the internet with AI-generated material and let the ai bots end up eat their own garbage...
Google should remain as search engine that indexes websites, rather than becoming a website itself by using publishers’ content copy and paste and put it at their main page...
Google should also open its database so publishers can copy and paste that data, just as Google currently uses content from publishers under fair use term or learning purpose...
That judge is a joke and he needs to be removed from the bench. His remedies are anything but and in finalizing his remedies he demonstrated how spineless he is to have deprived businesses and consumers of the justice they deserved.
He only cares about billionaires and multi-billionaires. I am so sick of it. Since he came into office, sales have dropped significantly for us. It's not just the rankings. It's the tariffs. Everything he has done has hurt small businesses. And he let Google get away with murder
Depending on the contract between Disney + OpenAI, Google may ask for a similar contract. Talking about contracts, I see Judge AmitEUR Mehta has said contracts can be allowed at one year rolling. Well, thats going to hurt Google a lot (not). Google + Apple/Samsung will just keep renewing.

I know exactly what you meant. He's only interested in business, not the country as a whole. As you say don't want to rant about politics, so I won't add anymore.
Google updates are meant to distract us from the content and traffic they are stealing from us maybe with some new features that accomplish the same. I don't expect anything except more harm from this update. In other Greedle news:
<b>Disney Fires Off Cease-And-Desist Letter To Google Claiming Its AI Services Infringe On Copyright On A “Massive Scale”</b> - <a href="https://deadline.com/2025/12/disney-google-cease-and-desist-letter-1236645802/">https://deadline.com/2025/12/disney-google-cease-and-desist-letter-1236645802/</a>
<blockquote>The Walt Disney Co. has fired off a cease-and-desist letter to Google, claiming that its AI training models and services infringe on its copyrights on a “massive scale.”
The letter was sent on Wednesday, just before the company made the announcement that it has reached an agreement with a Google rival, OpenAI, to provide its characters and IP for use in the latter company’s services.</blockquote>
I am just saying, the puppet in the WH will bail these guys out. I am so sick of this guy. Can't believe people thought he was the savior. He only cares about the stock market. Have you noticed that? Anyways, I don't want to rant about politics here like I do on X. I am ranting on that guy on X 24/7. haha
Oracle is too big to go bankrupt; the shareholders will force Larry into a humiliating course redirection after having lost a staggering amount of money. Larry will be forced to refocus on what Oracle do best, and AI isn't it. I know exactly who you mean, who will not be named.
I know it's off topic, but some good news....

Haha, shame it's Oracle though...
I am really not sure what the purpose of these updates is. I do know that Google now says "my traffic is suspicious" as I try to test my rankings incognito through Chrome or Brave.
It's too early to judge the impact of the Core Update, but my "average position" in Google Search Console has been all over the place today (It's at "0" right now, something I've never seen before). Coincidence or side effect?
Ranking hasn't been a problem for us. The problem is ads, AIO and refinement boxes that have shoved organic results down the page where users don't see them. Unless the Googlespam is reduced, organic results will continue a slow death.
Well that explains why traffic is literally none existent today. It’s just horrendous haven’t seen this low of traffic other then when I first started in SEO 20 years ago. 🤦🏼‍♂️
yeah more updates stupid fucks obviously you have nothing else to do! that's all they know - updateupdateupdateupdate, holly fuck, everyone is waiting for nothing else just a stupid update from google lmfao. go fuck yourselves seriously..
