In this video, we explore how Google's AI search revolution is reshaping the web, why millions of searches now end without visiting a single website, how Reddit became one of the biggest winners, and why many experts believe the open internet is entering a dangerous new phase.

Fox to buy Roku for $22 billion to reach streaming customers. Roku City will soon have a new sheriff in town: Fox Corp. has agreed to purchase Roku in a cash-and-stock deal for $160 per share that would give it access to the 100 million global households with purple buttons on their remotes.
