Unfortunately, someone has to pay… eventually…

a paid search engine is good thing, a paid anything is a good thing I would say, it means the people behind it is less likely to enshitify the service and more likely to stand up for their principles at courts

I criticized Kagi down below, ( yes I’m being downvoted ), I know it’s good service based on what people are saying… and between Google Vs Kagi, it’s Kagi everytime
