No hate to Kagi, but my non-techie friends would laugh at my face if I suggested them to pay for a search engine.
Us, people in engineering and web tech operate in a fairly different mindset. Ads piss us off more than the average people, who have accepted it throughout the years.

Trend wise I think it is like organic food - 30 years ago, many of us laughed at paying extra for it ("what's wrong with regular food?") But over time we started caring what we feed our bodies. The same shift is happening with information. It will not happen over night but we're starting to care more about the quality (and incentives) of what we feed our minds.
