I hate that search engine degradation is what’s lead me to use AI more. Instead of searching past pages full of 8 ads for a waffle recipe, I ask Copilot or something: “Give me a basic waffle recipe”.

So much computation to go back to what the web used to be great at.

I know Lemmy doesn't like it, but Kagi is really great

Lemmy doesn't like it for a reason.

Im a massive proponent of FOSS, But I have not heard a single sustainable FOSS model for maintaining free search engines. It just takes so much capital to operate.

I think a paid model is much better than a privacy disrespecting / ad driven one.

if its individually paid, you don't have privacy.

It is if they dont store search queries, which they claim they dont. I have no reason to distrust them.

Dude. There are like twenty ways around that without outright lying. Also they could outright lie.

By that logic, brave, duck duck go, start page, qwant, and mojeek could also just be lying.
