If you're serious about this, add a paid tier. Until it's free, I don't trust you will not ever sell my data to make bank.

- Nasrudith 5y agoWhy do people think a paid tier will prevent their data from being sold after pocketing it? Aside from that if they go bankrupt then it isn't theirs to not give away anymore for one.
- jermaustin1 5y agoYou are going to pay for a generalized web search when DDG/Google/Bing/etc are free?
- Closi 5y agoI would - the problem with those services is that they prioritise the results that generate the search engine the most money rather than give me the best results, and then indexes my searches to track and advertise to me throughout the web. A clear pricing transaction sounds much nicer to me. Should generate better results too.
- 1_player 5y agoYes. I use Brave Search and I hope they add a paid tier, which I think they have confirmed they'll add at a later date. If you don't pay, you are the product. Simple as that.
- duckmysick 5y ago> If you don't pay, you are the product. If not enough people pay, there's no product.
- 1_player 5y agoIf nobody pays, there's even less of it. Not sure what's your point.

- olyjohn 5y agoThere are a lot of products you pay for, and still are the product.
- diamondage 5y agoTelegram, Signal, Mozilla are counterexamples... Have a large charitable donated cash balance sitting in your account, and your organisational motivation is all different
- BrendanEich 5y agoMozilla Foundation does not fund Firefox, that's in an arms-length wholly owned for-profit subsidiary and Google is main source of funding via the search deal.
