Personally i find $10 a month to be too expensive, but don’t we all pay for search engines in a way? With Google you don’t pay directly but with your information and by getting influenced in your behaviour (e.g. to buy something from someone who in return pays google for advertisement).
Comment on Google paid a whopping $26.3 billion in 2021 to be the default search engine everywhere
systemglitch@lemmy.world 8 months agoYou pay for a search engine? You have a subscription to a search engine? I’m I understanding that right?
It is a search engine right? My brain is struggling with this.

Is there something about search engines, as opposed to other online services, that makes you expect them to be free?

I suppose there is. At least that is the bias I hold.
