A post I wrote in 2023, the closing of the canon, predicted that LLM answers would replace search results, dramatically lowering traffic to individual sites, thereby removing the incentives to even write along with building and maintaining websites. Unfortunately, this is proving to be true. I recommend reading AI is killing All About Berlin by Nicolas Bouliane, who runs a helpful site for expats navigating life in Berlin.
