A paid search engine... 🤔

[-] dan@upvote.au 7 points 4 months ago

Many people would prefer a paid service over an ad supported one.

[-] ikidd@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago

Many people would prefer that their search history isn't associated to personal and payment information.

[-] meliaesc@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

I generally agree with that, but as an aggregation service it would need to justify not providing any actual content/information with its price structure. The same argument against AI models trained with user data.

[-] monobot@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 months ago

It still costs money for hardware and hosting. Scraping web and training AI ain't cheap.

We've been conditioned. Everything has a cost.

I'd be curious to sign up if the paid version wasn't search capped.

I search a lot of random stuff or typo etc I feel like I'd burn through the allowance in 2 weeks

People expect a free thing to always have your best interests at heart.

Kagi makes sense to me. I pay for a product.

(just as a random side note, lenses alone would make it worth it)
