Not sure I'm ready to pay for search especially not at $5-10/mo.
Yep. Like $1.99 or $2.99 I can easily justify but $5/mo for only 300 searches feels too steep to me reguardless of result quality. I'll just go through the other pages of results from any other search engine.
$10 gets you unlimited searches now. Idk about you, but I was continually frustrated with the results from all of the other search engines. I figured $10 is a small cost for my sanity, and privacy.
I haven't heard of that service before, so I can't say.
If you're not spending some money then you're not the customer, you're the product. Would you really prefer the web continue to be supported by ads and people who sell data about you?
Would like to argue with you. However, supporting these projects directly, if you can afford to, is something of a personal responsibility.
That statement didn't give you the money to pay for it though
People can do without search. Most will find better uses for 10$ an hour. Those who can't probably won't buy search. So, lose-lose for you who tries to convince people in every post.
$10/mo, not hour, god that would be an insane search bill
Funny i understood it meant $10 per month but made the mistake typing.
This post is specifically asking for a search engine recommendation.
Yeah but they aren't coming in here for the lack of options. They wanted to hear what's everybody else on. I suppose you can make the argument that demand is there for paid search.. but that's because people have trained helplessness. Apart from 1 paid company i am not sure if people will have appetite for more companies in this space.. because enshittification will happen here too.
It's $5-$10 per month, not $10 per hour. LOL
