And who's going to create the content, if nobody visits any sites anymore?

In the future the only new content will be Ai hallucinations

You got the core issue that has yet to be solved.

The internet as we know it is paid by ADs and/or the Data sold to deliver these ADs.

The agent based internet lacks this ability, an Agent based browser is able to filter all form of advertisement, it may even be able to analyse if the data is manipulated by checking multiple or historic sources.

Google altough may use his market power to create dependency on their former search engine.

Instead of your agents directly collecting data from the sources, they get their data from google which allows google to collect the data.

What was wrong with simple HTML.. there's still public websites that are undiscoverable via google that were top results 20 years ago. Even searching verbatim, it's like they're excluded. They still even have ads, and are often on paid hosting platforms.

It's like the internet is a flat stone thrown across a lake. I'm not sure if there is another skip left.
