I won't pay for search either. I just filter the ads out like I do with every website. I also have SearXNG in between. I'm kinda hoping it'll get domain ranking

I won't pay for search either. I just filter the ads out like I do with every website. I also have SearXNG in between. I'm kinda hoping it'll get domain ranking like Kagi though. That would make it perfect (as well as integrating with my home AI which already works to some extent) I don't really care about the sustainability of business models. And really, Google is not about search. It's an advertising company.
