Would you pay $10/m for a search engine?

[–] Gormadt@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 year ago

$10 per month? Probably not.

$5 maybe as long as the search results are good and accurate.

Yeah, and it also happens to get me access to the tool that was able to summarize this video without watching it. But most people would probably choose the $5 tier, I think.

I was thinking about using Kagi myself, but it's more expensive than my site hosting, mail and 1 TiB storage Nextcloud instance combined. It's hard to justify that cost if the alternative is free and works fine enough most of the time.

How much of your time does $10 buy? Surely the solidify is worth $10 of your time

[–] qaz@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

$10 isn't a lot, but currently that is 2.06 hours for me (including conversion to USD). I might reconsider it later when that changes.

No, because I used the web before web search. It's a convenient thing. Not a necessary thing.
