So Google really wants to kill the web and search?

@tante Just want to plug @kagihq

Not affiliated, but it reminds a bit of Google in 2015. Clean results, no ads, no AI unless you ask for it, you can downrank, uprank or block domains for your future results. And one of my favorites, their index is based on what gives good results, not on what makes them most money.

Downside is that it’s paid (which is why they don’t need to rank for ads). But for me it’s more than worth it.

@tante @sstendahl @kagihq I'd like to like Kagi, the results seem great but I just wish there was a subscription level without access to the AI assistant.
They say it's opt-in and that's technically true, but paying for a service that has access to it regardless bothers me.

@paul @tante @sstendahl @kagihq this is also what's keeping me from signing up for a plan. i don't want to spend money on other peoples tokens. right now im on ddg and only use kagi when i think there could be better results (I. e. as a fallback instead of google)

@paul @sstendahl @kagihq I fully support that. Would love to have a Kagi subscription without the LLM bullshit.
