Google sometimes shows snippets from my website as a direct answer to a query (in a collapsible box). If the out-of-context answer satisfies the user, then I get no traffic.
In at least one case, Google gave a completely wrong answer (snippet for the wrong question), and credited me for it.
For the record, I run a pretty lean, annoyance-free website. It looks the same without an ad blocker. It uses Plausible for analytics. No newsletters, no annoyances. I still get shafted.
