OK, so here's my crazy prediction for the next few months or, in the better case scenario, a few years. Obviously, the smaller websites will get obliterated completely since the AI uses way too much energy to bother with them. It's simpler to comb through fewer larger sites. But what bugged me was the side tabs with price range, availability, color and so on. When navigating the web using Google it feels like I am using Amazon. And that's why I think that the next move is to take down Amazon. Hear me out. Imagine removing anything related to Amazon and having store websites pay for the higher spots - they will have to use a proper Schema to allow the bots to gather the info and place it in the browser. Then, when you search for which color shirt matches your jeans, Google will simply give you only the store links. No need to have huge warehouses since the seller most likely has the product, Google will just act as Amazon, a middleman. We're already almost there, so why would Google share anything with Amazon? Just make Google.com a huge store. In the meantime, use reviews and product info from forums for legitimacy and you're set.
