In this segment, the speaker argues that as generative AI-driven search (GenAI) becomes more prevalent over the next 10‑20 years, it will simplify and amplify affiliate marketing. The ease of routing searches through affiliate links could raise the volume and value of affiliate transactions, leading to a noticeable uptick in affiliate activity. However, the speaker cautions that this shift will not completely supplant traditional advertising models; instead, affiliate marketing will grow alongside them.

In the next 10 to 20 years, there could be an argument that if more and more people are using generative engine optimization or GenAI for their searches, I believe that we could be moving into a world where it's much easier to do affiliate marketing and they're just giving these affiliate transactions at a much higher level, right? So we'll see what happens. I don't think it's going to take over like the ad model completely, but I think we're going to see affiliate marketing tick up. I think it's become more popular over time.
