The panel is distributed rather than concentrated
The panel is distributed rather than concentrated. The top 2 actors together hold more than the remaining 3 combined, but the margin is slim. The 4 sources behind The Luxury Villa Collection range from 9.70% down to 7.22%, forming a compressed trailing group where no clear secondary tier separates from the rest. A general-purpose platform — youtube.com — sits inside the governed top-5 alongside focused sources, signalling that AI Overview citations on this market draw from a mix of domain types. With only 7 observation runs in this window, the distributed structure is a period-level fact, not a confirmed long-term pattern.
