A couple of years ago my @WatchMojo board members asked me "why don't you guy websites, and reduce your exposure to @youtube?" So turn our back on what built the business and where the audiences are flocking to? For... "greed" (to not share revenues with platforms)? Traffic to website is on a long term trend to 0. All falling knives. AI snippets will accelerate this. Not just news sites btw, all websites. No one cares about your grandma's life when they're looking for apple pie recipes, they just want to know the basics... not what memories the scent of cinnamon evokes to you. Sorry not sorry, it's happening.
In the last 2 years, web traffic to news sites has fallen by about 28%.
