These content creators might not even see the spikes anymore, though, let alone be rewarded for them.
Everything they d see is crawlers.
Their content would be presented, and capitalized on, by those who run the centralized gateways.

You can certainly search not knowing *where* you are searching, but there is always a mediator inbetween - that most people might not be so aware of.
And if and when that mediator not only takes the role of filtering, deciding, but also presenting the results from their engines - no traffic will ever hit the original content.

Yes, that might become interesting ... Snake choking on its own tail ... Or rather its own excrements.
Perhaps new models of monetization? Content sweatshops (well, we kinda have those already)?
The degradation already shows ... The web drowning in its own slop.
That's one aspect - #AI as a fossil fuel support industry.
Secondly, killing off the free information web, journalism, art, creativity for good - that's worth the initial losses.
