Seems obvious to me! You made it, your liable.

    It's not a just "you've made it" though.

    It's a "You push and shove it HARD down people's throat to the point it's almost the only thing they see now apart from ads".

    I remember accidentally searching through google once. The AI summary took half the page and there were a whopping 6 ads. Which is almost two pages of scrolling.

    So I don't blame users for taking the easy way out and just using the summary. Especially if they haven't heard of uBO + Firefox on mobile. Rawdogging the modern internet is terrible UX. Popups, autoplay, consent forms with a bajillion data "partners". And ads, ads and even more ads.
