I don’t want to encourage pay-to-use websites but then again - if Google’s new search is as bad as it seems - I’ll stop using it. Also - I assume google will kill off a great deal of independent news media and replace it greater and greater amounts of AI slop.
Ultimately, things have to pay for themselves. A model where you outright pay for the service of search seems to be one of the fairest, bar distributed/community-owned search engines.
