I get quite a bit of flak from my colleagues for paying for search, but I kid you not, I don't regret splurging on a Kagi subscription at all. It's personally less stressful for me, having to wade through less cruft, and I think I even work significantly faster because of how I use it.
It's sad when you think about it. Search was such a good experience in the past.
I also pay for Kagi and I'm super happy with that decision. I do wish they'd stop putting so much AI cruft into their search engine, but at least I can disable it.
I was against the ai integrations until I started actually trying them… quick answers are awesome.
With most topics, I find fastgpt to be the most up to date, accurate and best sourced. And with just a normal search there's basically just one expandable strip with AI, no real annoyance for me.
When I use the same logic for my YouTube Premium in conversation, I get endless flak.
