many channels pretend to be human-made, but are just AI slop.

Mojeek and Ecosia are building their own index, and then you don't need to subscribe to a service that's all-in on AI

Every time I try mojeek it's the worse experience ever. Ask Jeeves was more reliable.

Never heard of exosia tho have to try it.

I'm sorry to disappoint you further, but Ecosia, like DDG, is just A Bing proxy for now.

Regardless, I support their effort to break the US stranglehold on search engines

I'm not really against AI (specifically text-based GenAI), but AI does change the reality of using the internet. I need to be able to promote trustworthy domains in my search results and accumulate such a list over years.

Brave search technically has such a feature, but firstly the owner is a homophobe, and secondly the feature isn't really as power-user oriented as I'd like.
