- endisneigh 3y agoyes, if someone wants unlimited searches without ads they should consider Kagi. I am simply saying in my experience Google ads are not bad enough nor the results in Kagi superior enough to justify spending money. that being said I believe most people do not know how to Google search properly. if you're just typing in random stuff and hoping for the best you're doing it wrong IMO.
- fnordpiglet 3y agoGoogle ads consume everything above the fold, and are interleaved with the results in ways that are hard to observe. Given you already have to wade through SEO garbage, which is essentially third party ads, you’re having to go through pages of results with a sprinkle of non commercial results. Kagi still has as many SEO results, sadly, but the signal to noise is structurally higher.
- endisneigh 3y agoI don’t see Seo because I never make searches that aren’t restricted to specific sites to begin with, but i do see your point.
