If you want to know what Google-Zero is, the Verge did a podcast on it last year referencing @housefresh.bsky.social and other independent website owners about what happens when Google doesn't actually refer viewers to your website, but instead scrapes your content and pushes AI overview and spam.
Google Zero is here — now what?

Someone bought 300+ spam links and pointed them to one of our most critical air purifier reviews.

The first wave came after we sent a request to the brand for comment about a new product.

The second wave came the day after @linusmediagroup.com posted a video about the brand threatening to sue us.

Whew: a reminder how shockingly unreliable Google AI overviews are (and to some degree, anything AI offers as ‘knowledge’?) - it seems they're taking blurb from press releases, sponsored posts and products listings and offering it up as “facts”: housefresh.com/beware-of-th...

What if you couldn't trust any review on the internet? What if EVERYONE was being controlled by the companies that make those products? WELL that might be what is happening… YouTube Channel HouseFresh is facing legal backlash over publishing an honest review for a PuroAir 240.

We spent weeks researching air purifiers we reviewed to determine whether Google Search results and AI Overviews are leading consumers to good advice.

Our analysis shows that AIO will likely recommend buying whatever you show interest in, even if the product doesn’t exist.

Running HouseFresh has been an uphill battle.

First, we had to fight for independent websites like ours to still show up on Google.

Then, we had to fight for our critical product reviews to stay online.

NEW: Spoke to 25 small publishers about the kind of impact Google's AI changes to search has had on their businesses.

Things don't look good—not for the publishers, and not for the quality of information out on the open web, which ironically Google itself relies on.
