I'm a fan of FOSS like everyone else on Lemmy, but I don't think it's a universal solution for everything. Some things are worth paying for and I value an efficient search experience and privacy (Kagi has no personal info on me. I pay with a crypto wallet through a third party) so Kagi is a worthwhile service for me.

I agree with you though, any good search should be good enough to dig up the opinions and bias that is out there somewhere that agrees with your own biases.
