Reddit's CEO sure seems frustrated with Google's AI overviews - Engadget

Reddit CEO Steve Huffman said Google’s AI Overviews have not delivered the same benefits to Reddit as traditional search results, arguing that users want to visit Reddit rather than read summaries of it. His comments come as Reddit reports weaker search-driven traffic and evaluates its relationship with Google, including a $60 million content licensing deal. Huffman also said Reddit is exploring product changes such as better recommendations, a video experience, and audio-style ways to consume posts.
