What search engine is currently showing the most useful results? What other tricks do we have aside of adding “reddit” or whatever internet community to the results?

    At $10 it’s 1000 unique searches. I search a ton and have it on my phone etc. haven’t exceeded the limit. I am at 600 searches right now, with a renewal due on the 24th.

    They are writing a search engine from scratch. They don’t just randomize bing or google searches. So I think you may be underestimating the operating and especially development costs, probably hosting costs too.

    But to each his own. Also those streaming services you mention. They don’t really turn a profit, and definitely don’t on subscriptions.

      1000 is more reasonable but it’s still only 33 per day. I’ve done 52 searches today. $10 is still way too much.

      How much better would a search engine have to be to make it worth the cost of a streaming service? For me, quite a lot…

      But yeah I don’t mean to say your choice to pay for it isn’t valid. As you say, to each their own.
