I'm privileged by being able to afford Kagi, it's really night and day. Even just the fact that nobody can buy out a hostile ad to phish me/infect me with malware

    it says like $5/mo for 300 searches or $10/mo for unlimited. do you have an estimate of how many searches you do?

    i can imagine wanting unlimited because a single search usually is actually like five searches as i try to refine, my searches are iterative.

    also $10/mo feels excessive. my vpn is less than that and i hammer that thing 24-7 on multiple devices, including a seedbox.

    I've run out of 300 searches in a few days, so I'm running unlimited now.

    I don't want to encourage pay-to-use websites but then again - if Google's new search is as bad as it seems - I'll stop using it. Also - I assume google will kill off a great deal of independent news media and replace it greater and greater amounts of AI slop.
