It would be worth paying Google money if they would care about customers and provided them with a good product but they enshitified YouTube and are continuing to do so. I’m not paying for that.

Sounds good.

Are you a marketer for DDG? No need to get so paranoid. People just share their experiences.

If you value paying money for a good product I’d say kagi is the answer. It is definitely worth its cost if you can afford it.

Is $11 for Spotify every month better?

Yes :)

All of these tools like 3d modeling or photo editing have common tools that you have to learn and understand. For example: probably all 3d modeling tools have concepts like verticies and object faces, etc. And then there are common tools li

I approve.

by beretguy 2y ago
I am already on $5 plan and it’s definitely worth it. I was able to find things that neither ddg nor brave could.

Then you can pay for Kagi.

by beretguy 2y ago
Use Brave search for now instead. https://search.brave.com

by beretguy 2y ago
Yes, Kagi is expensive. But it also has useful features other search engines don’t. It’s nice if you can afford it.

And what if you are introvert or have social anxiety and not good at connecting to people? A lot of such people are very smart and exactly the type of people you would want to hire for some positions. Or what if you have a disability that m

Yeah, I knew they rely on Bing but didn’t know this much. This really makes me not want to use ddg anymore. I’m seriously considering just paying $108/year to Kagi.

by beretguy 2y ago
I… don’t understand how that’s possible.

Man, can you imagine if this happened to Google! I’m so curious now.
805.
by beretguy 2y ago
I don’t, but I’m still curious what difference does that “4” make?
806.
by beretguy 2y ago
I kind of hope it’s something to do with AI, like, I don’t know, AI coming to conclusion that internet is bad for humanity and so it’s trying to shut down a search engine, or something mildly dystopian like that.

Not sure why your text is grey. I mean, yeah, “Dependency” xkcd exists for a reason: https://xkcd.com/2347/ Except that in this case instead of a “random person in Nebraska” we have a multi billion dollar corporation.

I don’t see anybody mentioning Brave Search. I’m getting 500. Anybody else?

by beretguy 2y ago
Still there are better alternatives to ddg. I use Brave and Kagi.
