Kagi is a subscription-based search engine that argues that paying for search is a reasonable thing to do in order to avoid ads and companies selling your information. They also have lenses, e.g. for searching the fediverse specifically. Anyone that wants to share their experience of using Kagi?

    Possibly, I don’t mean it in a way of " you’re stupid for paying"-way, its just too much money for most people

      Oh no, I am not disagreeing with you. I was perfectly happy with startpage and ddg, until I have less time to scroll over ad and a bit more money to spend.

      I just want to put the price into perspective. I agree that people should be financially responsible and use the free solution when they don’t have the cash.

      That being said, some people around me have an openAI/claude subscription that is way more expensive. And that makes me feel slightly better about where my money is going to.
