The end of the open web. That's what.

Sites will have to either shutdown or move behind a protection racket run by one of the evil megacorps. And TBH, shutting down is the better option.

With clickthru traffic dead, whats even the point of putting anything online? To feed AIs so that someone else can profit at my (very literal) expense? No thanks. The knowledge dies with me.

The internet dark age is here. Everyone, retreat to your fiefdom.
