I feel like there are probably some ad based search engines which are privacy and service oriented, but in general even for those there remains a misalignment problem. Hence if I don’t want to be a product now or in the future, what good search engines are there that I can pay for?
Bummer. Yes it is kind of spendy for what you get . 5 dollars doesnt cover my searches for a month.
That really sucks because kagi was so good at finding content that wasn’t typical ad spam and slop. Oh well.
