I wonder if the sudden cut is part of Google preparing for a recession.

A recession is what we say in 2008.
But the definition of a recession has always been two consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth, and that has in fact happened.
It's funny to me because if we're resorting to semantics and nitpicking to prove whether or not there is a massive and broadly defined societal issue going on, then it probably isn't really happening... at least not enough to write home about.
It may not be a severe recession. It may not affect our quality of life all that much. Media may be blowing it out of proportion. It's not my goal to argue either way (I'm honestly not qualified to do so and it seems most experts don't know yet).
But saying "it isn't really happening" is just false. We don't get to just redefine words based on our feelings.
