Comment on Search engine referral report for 2025 Q2parentComments−brookst1yI’d argue that HN sentiment is a leading indicator, not a claim of current reality.Compared to a year ago, Google has declined from 89.487% to 88.915%. Just half a percent, but IMO it will accelerate.Meanwhile OpenAI has gone from 0.194% to 0.226% in just three months (they weren’t on previous quarter’s reports).Sure, it’ll be years before Google drops to 50%. But it will happen.
