Those companies do not respect their users and yet most of their users enjoy their disrespect.

Why kagi? Is there a better paid option?

[-] King@lemy.lol -2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Kagi users pay for repackaged search results from Yandex and other free search engines(with little amount of results coming from Teclis) Furthermore, kagi uses the results of Marginalia without contributing back to the code or even supporting the project financially.

If you want to pay to a search engine, just donate to any of the opensource search engines( Alexandria.org, Wiby, Marginalia, Stract or even Metager) you would like.

Finally I will end my comment with this : https://danluu.com/seo-spam/

Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!


How voting works:

Vote the opposite of the norm.


If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.



Guidelines:

Tag your post, if possible (not required)


  • If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
  • If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].


Rules:

1. NO POLITICS


Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.


2. Be civil.


Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...


Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.


5. No trolling.


This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.



Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
