@eight_byte @monotrox How do you differentiate 'serious' search requests?
I'm considering Kagi but I'm a very trivial person.

@grizz Relay's doing the same. I think some of the less popular apps like these can feasibly give the new API pricing a go.
I think the proposition has changed significantly for me though. I liked and supported these apps for a long time, but I'm not using them as vehicle through which to effectively subscribe to reddit.
@Wander Very much so!
The big one for me is UXs that make everything huge, with a singular focus on a single thing.
At best, it makes you merely have to scroll more. At worst, it massively interrupts natural user journeys in the most frustrating way imaginable.
It's a waste of the space and the user's attention, and it makes me feel like an idiot as a user.
@cyclohexane Anti-cheat will often detect and prevent/ban it, so the use case it fills is that ever-shrinking group of games that run on Windows, can't run under Wine/Proton, and don't have anti-cheat.
Not sure it's worth doing at all.
@eight_byte That's a great answer, thanks.
I think I'll give it a whirl and see how I get on. Search seems to have generally gotten a *lot* worse lately and I've been guilty of using ChatGPT to augment some of my searches for work-related stuff. Maybe Kagi is a better answer.
