Nice write-up about the benefits of switching to a paid search engine (Kagi).
I like the "boat tied to a submarine" analogy of a lot of other free software that might seem good at first but is still not user-funded. As a user, I prefer to be the sole funder of the product I use, where possible, so that it fully serves me, its master. This is what it means to be the master of my own tools. I paid money for them.
