I am currently testing Kagi (they have a free tier limited to 100 search queries) and it’s the BEST.
I haven’t seen garbage AI or Reddit results in two days and actually find what I am looking for….
Going back to Google? - never, I’ll pay to use Kagi rather than subject myself to Googles AI garbage now after only two days.
Yeah probably - I mean I just turned 50 and moved over to Lenny due to the likeness to the old internet forums and BB’s of the 90’s and early 00’s before the normies discovered the internet via social media……
I grew up playing video games in the 80’s - of course I still play video games even though I turned 50 this year.
I swear the younger generations forget gaming has been around for a LONG time long before they were born, also that people don’t change what they enjoy doing just because they get older……
Also used to muck around with Frog in a Blender and Gerbil in a Microwave Flash games all around the same time as badger badger badger….ahh memories ….when the internet was simply for nerds 😂
I really don’t care to pay for access to a search engine that’s private, good results, no AI garbage results or reddit results….but you can say that you get what you pay for really…
It’s an insignificant amount of money considering some people spend a lot more than that in a day on a take away coffee….
