i started using the internet in the late 2000's and still remember when you search for something most of the times it would return with a forum post ... now its just random websites ... if you ever need real and concise answer you have to add site:reddit.com at every search and since discord or twitter are not crawlable by these search crawlers they are not mentioned . Where did all those forums went...are there still active forums ?

Two months ago I started using Kagi as a Google alternative. It's amazing how much of a difference it makes not having to wade through a list of sponsored links first and actually getting the results I want.

$10 a month seems a lot for a search engine, but maybe it's just because I've gotten used to all of them being free.

So far i think the $5 tier would be the one i would need.

I am on kagi's free trial right now actually. Honestly i thought i searched more than i have so far. I have been on the 100 search trial for like 3-4 days now and have only used like 11 or 12 searches. I never paid attention to how much i searched before. The great thing is that they accept crypto now.
