What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Philipp Schindler attributed the recent revenue slowdown to Google's AI Mode. Alphabet lost over $500 billion in value, as search advertising revenue growth fell to 12% from 19%. This occurred because AI Mode pays less per query than classic search, meaning query growth did not translate into revenue. Overall revenue was $127.6 billion, missing analyst expectations.
