    what happens to online revenue for everyone if say 90% of the traffic becomes bots?

      Presumably the usage of humans stays relatively constant and costs for infrastructure increase 5 to 10x.

      Just means you just pay out 1/10th as much per traffic; you already had some estimator for signal to noise measuring buying likelihood. It's just gonna drop

      That depends to a large extent on whether & when the bots will be endowed with spending power.

      As long as humans keep using the internet I can’t see it mattering too much. Has this impacted the amount people who are using social media I wonder.

      Hopefully it goes to zero

      Maybe if the internet's value is absolutely destroyed we can start over. Or just bury it in the past

    Because the major user of internet is also change to AI and bot, human only talk to AI and bot instead of search on Internet
