SMRTR summary

Google's new "AI Mode" in Search is causing concern at Reddit, potentially reducing traffic and revenue by summarizing Reddit content directly in search results. This threatens Reddit's discovery and engagement, particularly affecting casual visitors. The feature has already impacted Reddit's stock value, dropping nearly 5% after Wells Fargo predicted declining traffic. Reddit remains focused on its logged-in users and is developing its own AI search tool, Reddit Answers, to compete in the evolving search landscape.
