    Tanking is accurate - they were the 32nd highest traffic domain and now they’re 42nd (fell even further since that screenshot was taken).

    Ten places, when you’re that close to the highest traffic domains on the internet, is massive. Twitter has gone from similar traffic to Bing to having less traffic than Spotify.

    Worse though - more than half of their losses over six months happened in the last week or two.

      what surprised me here is how much traffic bing gets 😅 integrating with AI was a real pro move, it seems.

      Any insight into how much the reduction in traffic is just restricting API usage and actual user interaction? Surely there is a correlation in more API usage (if not just scraping) would drive more engagement?
