Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prince says search traffic referrals are plummeting.

Publishers are facing an existential threat because people aren't clicking through AI chatbot links.

Prince said Google sent a publisher one visitor for every two pages it had crawled 10 years ago , now it's one for every 18.

The problem for publishers is that they don't earn from advertisements if people don't click through links to their websites.
