    From TFA:

    So what do we search with instead of Google? There isn’t a lot of choice. There’s various flavours of Google or Bing.

    […] Kagi resells Google’s actual link results for a monthly subscription. Kagi is really an AI company that sells search as a sideline, and they’ve got a terrible AI slop news service too. But the search has a good reputation for now.

    This, honestly. I'm a bit surprised so many people believe corporations would just offer a good service for free forever.
    It's always about capturing the market and then pivoting to monetization.
    The only services you can rely on are ones you pay for. (That doesn't mean you can rely on every service you pay for.)

    Exactly. Just like free email isn’t something you’re going to want either. I hate email. My job is hands on and doesn’t pivot around it like HR, lawyers, or admin. But I still need it.

    Unpaid slowly eroded the ability to auto sweep spam and garbage from the general pileup thus requiring more time spent dealing with it. Nope. Least time spent there is best.

    “Free” email and search engines are not free.
