I have seen several google alternative search engine projects being posted in HN every other week. You have your privacy focused open source google alternative search engine for "insert niche here" with big hopes of disruption. I will give you my two cents. I have used duckduckgo, bing, searx etc. for extended periods of time and hated every one of those things. The problem is that what you search seem to be essentially the gateway to wild west of internet. I understand the proposition of spam control in search engines, but atleast to me I think the early days of google without DMCA and copyright bans made google the best. I fear SEO spam control will only bring the worst of the moderated internet. It will not be the first time big tech tried to douse a gasoline fire with more gasoline because they taught the more fire meant the previous fire will get suffocated by the lack of oxygen(?). Rather than using "AI" as a crutch to solve SEO as a problem, I want to see an option that is true to 2005 era google.
