Comment on Kagi search has improved their ultimate plan

Reality is, money needs to come from somewhere.

That’s not reality, that’s a mindset promoted by corporations for the last decade. How much do you pay for using Lemmy, Linux, Mastodon and other FOSS?

How the fuck do you think Lemmy, Linux and Mastodon are sustaining themselves, if not with money?

I donate to open source projects that I feel need the support, because unlike you I don’t take them for granted.

  And what exactly would stop people from doing the same for search engine project?

    You tell me. What’s stopping you from donating to SearXNG?

    SearxNG is kind of a bad example, since they are only a meta search engine and don’t do any of the heavy lifting.
