Google has clearly decided to keep users on their platform longer, hoping that this will lead to more ad clicks. There is a clear reason why AI overviews very seldomly link to outside websites, and why website links are much more hidden on Google Maps/Business Profiles. More time spent on the Google platform means more likely that someone will eventually click an ad.
Also - I noticed a pretty huge outcry when AI overviews were introduced to search. Can you show me all the people who enjoy the experience of using them more than not?
