I hardly use search engines anymore. So there's no point in paying for Kagi.

90% of the time I'm not looking for a website, I need the answer to a question. I can either spend 15 minutes sifting through clickbait sites until I finally find the answer, or I can spend 15 seconds asking a chatbot.

For the handful times a month I still need to find a webpage there's no point in paying for one..

The reason people like Kagi is that it doesn't show these (anywhere near as much), the top result has the answer

Hmm I tried it in the beginning (when they still had a monthly free allowance) and I didn't really find it significantly better than DuckDuckGo which is what I normally use (I almost never use Google).

But my point is that they introduced it a little too late. I'd have loved to have something like this a few years ago but now most of my search engine activity is being displaced by LLMs.

And DuckDuckGo already meets my needs enough for when I do still need it (yes I know it's just a skinned version of Bing :) ). And I don't have to bother logging in to it on every computer and phone I own (I easily have 10 computers and 6 mobile devices in my home alone).
