People pay for youtube and random youtubers now. They are fine paying for things.

  Sure, for those things. However when it comes to web browsers, there’s been a looong history of failed attempts at selling commercial browsers. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if the only people who’ve ever made any serious and sustained income from browsers have been Google; and even that’s been indirectly via upselling their other services.

    This is what people said about Search before Kagi. And, incidentally, those folks are also working on a paid browser that real people do buy. Times change. Subscriptions are normalized, and tech people are increasingly aware of the hazards of "free".

  Content is something that is traditionally paid.
