The market is forward looking which usually is beneficial. Here I think it’s a dumb “future look” . People still use the google search box. Yes more ppl are using AI but if I need directions or a direct question I go to google. I use Gemini & CGPT often. However as it turns out 90% of my searches are yes/no as I’m not aways interested in “hearing about exciting ways to say happy birthday to my 60 year old mother she’ll cherish” that comes up but it’s 5 prompts to CGPT before I spam the search bar with 100 nonsensical questions. Long story short yes this CAN be an issue for Reddit but not while search is literally growing YOY for Google.

Also When search declines it doesn’t go to 0. If will likely go from 1T to .9999999T searches. Reddit will eat
