Google is already killing the ad revenue model of the web by presenting the content it scrapes with AI for search — effectively stealing their content for profit — instead of ranking links so users navigate to their sites. Many have ahead seen a 70-90% drop in traffic, resulting in a 70-90% drop in ad revenue.

Capitalism is a blast, huh? Crime is very legal and very cool!

Broad rule of thumb for me:

If your website needs ad revenue to either exist, or that's fundamentally its entire business model?

That website does not need to exist.

Now sure, are their caveats to this? Yes. But broadly, its usually true. The website should exist as a small loss leading part of your whole shebang, or should have some kind of membership or donation model or something else, to fund itself.

Its also not that hard to make a website follow broswer agnostic standards. If the website can't figure out how to do that, if they think its fine to be a browser-vendor exclusive website, I don't need to use it.

Because people weren't testing to work on the various browsers, which is pretty much what happens now with many sites and Firefox. People don't adhere to the webstandard so Firefox doesn't always work, but if we see a huge surge in Firefox then websites might put effort into them working in hope to catch some revenue of oerson doesnt have a blocker
