Not sure if this is the right community, but I didn't see a general one. What search engine do you use? Besides Google increasingly spying on its users, the quality of its search results seems to have gotten significantly worse over the last decade. What search engine(s) do you use?

Oh really? I never felt like that was convincing in any way especially since lot of the stuff in that blog is just uninformed (for example you don't have to pay taxes in many jurisdictions until you hit a certain threshold)

I'm not gonna try to convince you to use Kagi, but I just don't feel like that blog is full of good reasons not to.

    "You disagree with me so therefore you're an AI bot" sure is a take...

    Well, it’s plausible you’ve ingested enough influence from enough propaganda sources that you yourself believe what they’ve told you, & you parrot it back out, which sorta makes you, in the limited context of one comment, functionally indistinguishable from a propaganda worker, who probably has been replaced by an AI bot bc those can do more of that work.

    So ya can’t really blame me for the shorthand of just referring to you as one, yknow?
