Ah, I think paying for things that make your life better is a good thing, not everything has to be FOSS, unless there's a differentiator that makes it better, it ends up being a "I'm better than you" without any value. I am wondering if there is any value add from alternatives though.

Can you elaborate? I've just started using Kagi for several weeks and I love it, seriously reminds me of 2012 Google

Just wait for the massive layoffs that's already happening in the gaming industries 😔
