The Internet Won’t Let You Read Anymore | The InSight Out Show

The quiet corner of the internet, where you searched something, found an article, and actually read it — is closing down. At least it feels that way.

Search engines have been quietly restructuring around video, AI-generated summaries, and paid placements. Studies now show nearly 60 percent of searches end without a single click. Users get a preview, a snippet, a short clip, and move on. The article never gets opened. The writer never gets read.

What we're losing isn't just a preference for text. It's a certain kind of attention. The kind that lets you slow down, reread a sentence, sit with an idea. Video doesn't offer that. Neither does a four-line AI summary.

In this episode, Devin names what's happening and why it's worth paying attention to.
