This is a very low-information announcement here but if this is taken to the extreme, it means that DuckDuckGo, Qwant, and many other so-called “alternative” search engines are going to either have to look for a new provider of results, or die.

      Yeah I’m far too used to getting my search for free to pay for it. I’ll fuckin’ use chatgpt before I pay a subscription fee for that shit, even if it is a substantially better option.

        Answers still Kagi. You get use of the basic tiers for all the big ai services.

        You ever wanted to blacklist Quora from search results? You can do that too.

          This is why tech communities suck.

          Too many shills and useful idiots trying to viral market bullshit.

          I looked at it briefly, the only free option I saw was 100 free searches, which will not last your average user anywhere near 30 days. Shit that might not last me 3 days depending on what I’m doing.
