As Reddit stock falls, CEO questions value of Google's AI Overviews

Reddit CEO Steve Huffman criticized Google’s AI Overviews, saying they don’t create enough value for publishers or the wider web.

He said users want Reddit’s original discussions rather than AI summaries, speaking during the company’s earnings update.

Reddit’s stock fell, and the company is reportedly weighing whether to end its $60 million Google licensing deal.

A Pew study also found AI Overviews reduce click-through referrals compared with traditional search results.
