Call me tight-fisted or naive or whatever but I don't see $10/month as a remotely attractive price point and I don't see how they can justify it, especially when their results are still powered at least in part by external indexers. $10/month can get you terabytes of media on streaming platforms. $1-2/month is what I would pay.

At the end of the day, it comes down to what your time is worth to you. I do about 1500 searches per month and paying 10€ per month for those searches to actually be relevant makes it a no brainer.

Assuming you've already paid $10 for your terabytes of streaming and that wasn't the last dollar you owned, how does paying for a completely different thing relate to your media streaming? I can buy potatoes that last me for a week for the same price as for what I'd pay to just get a coffee, but if I've already bought my potatoes and have money to spare, why couldn't I buy also the coffee?

  My point was that their supply cost should be minimal especially if they don't fully host and run their own crawlers/indexers.

It’s a very fair price. If anything we have to hope it’s enough that they can survive.

You're not paying for terabytes of media. You are paying for time and a reduced cognitive load. I think it's a fair price if you live in the US. I'd pay it, except I don't live in the US and our currency isn't great at the moment, and I don't exactly get overpaid at my job, and the cost of everything is rising, so I personally can't afford it ATM. But it seems reasonable to me.

Ditto, but I also just don't search that much. Well... I do, but not the broad internet. I search the places that have the information I want -- Ansible docs, VCS, etc. I've solved this 'problem' completely for free

Honestly, I think you're part of the tight-fisted minority. For the average person, there's no real difference between $2/mo and $10/mo. They're both in that "more expensive than free, but not expensive enough to think about" category.

  Eh, that's $24/year vs. $120/year. One is justifiable for what is essentially a luxury convenience. The other is not.
