Kagi (paid search engine): "Peertube results now show up in regular searches, plus you can filter by "source" to see more Peertube content." : fediverse

I've used them about a year and glad to see this kind of improvement. They are not perfect but still much better than the free options so far.

Only concern I've had has been around the AI stuff they are providing... So far it's optional and a separate piece from the normal search. Time will tell there I suppose.

I use Yandex a lot now for not censoring me. Maybe I'll have to try this.

Does anyone still think their data isn't being sold even if they pay for a service? Plus now it's associated to your payment information. These are the same guys that spent all their runway funding on Tshirts, I don't think they're the sharpest knives in the drawer.

“Paid search engine” <— no thanks.

Suit yourself. They aren't perfect but I find value in them so far.

freemium pls :cry:

although good freemium examples like proton mail for example seem too good to be true with free vpn and all the jazz. always such a shady feeling when using such services

If you're not paying, you're the product.

I'm not paying for my self hosted searxng and I have more control over my search than any kagi user.

That's only when doing business with corporations, but there's also the option of open source (e.g. SearxNG).

Or do you consider yourself the product when using Lemmy?

Fine for you. I’m just glad there’s an option besides “sell your soul” and “invest hundreds of hours and dollars into self-hosting”.
