Can I Earn Rewards: Yes! You can earn PRE tokens for your searches. These tokens can be used to stake nodes, advertise on the platform, or traded on exchanges. The more you use Presearch, the more you earn.
I do not need to earn rewards from my intent searching.
Also. Seems like it's ads. Just "decentralized" ads. Kinda like what Brave and Honey were doing - stopping ads and inserting there own.
OP I suggest there's a reason noone mentions this shambles of a search engine.
I think the idea could work, if you had something like a decentralised Kagi
Pay tokens to search - get tokens by hosting the search engine, buy tokens if you can't host, token value should be tied to the electrical cost of one search.
Fully not for profit.
Obviously, OP's thing isn't that, but I can dream.
Earn crypto rewards
It says its decentralised. Not sure how crypto works so don't know.
I hope you made this because I want the creator of this to know it's stupid
Lol if I made this I wouldn't be here posting. Smart people dont waste their time slaving 9-5 and then wasting their life on social media. They buy social media and enjoy the action while we try to find a purpose in life.
