Callous take. You make it seem like only Google was giving here. If Google was routing users to OP's site, surely OP had something beneficial to give.

No. OP made the content Google copied with AI to their landing page, which reduced the traffic.
But I forgot that they convinced you to accept AI as a magic "make copyright disappear"-technology.
Had they been correctly punished for anticompetitive practices there would be other search engines with meaningful market share.
