It really does change the dynamic of how you search, if you know that the next search will cost you 1.25¢. Right now I use Ecosia, so I'm actually more motivated to do extra searches, to increase the number of trees they plant. Kagi is the other way around, search has a cost, so be mindful about what you search for. It's a great way for them to have a sense of their load, while also perhaps being ever so slightly more sustainable.

Ecosia, for example, isn't as serious about privacy: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25713050 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25713050
