Cloudflare CEO warns AI and zero-click internet are killing the web's business model
(www.techspot.com)
The web doesn't have a business model, cloudflair, you do. And nobody cares because you suck.
Eh, Cloudflare provides a pretty good service for a very reasonable price.
But yeah, the web doesn't have a business model in the same way a town square doesn't, yet you can make a business work in both areas. Make a compelling product and people will pay you for it.

When Google itself is the one stopping you from clicking on a website you've got a problem.
It needs to get even nastier so that it affects all the big players in a huge way so they get to do something about it. While it only affects the indie web we are all just gonna keep suffering.
