> The one thing I find slightly grating about links to Kagi blogs is the top comments are almost always "I use Kagi and it's great!" rather than about the content of the blog. And I'm a happy Kagi subscriber!
replyOkay, new topic then. Have you heard of InstaPot? ;)
>you almost always only get good-quality journalism if you pay for it
replyOften true, but sadly doesn't work in reverse - if you pay for it, it often still isn't good-quality journalism (although your mind will tell you it is, just because you paid for it).
You mainly get this because honestly I was already happy with the existing product. The main focus of this post is not something I was really looking for and is a nice addition but I would still be using the existing product regardless.
replyBasically I just want search that I can actually filter are returns relevant useful results.. This adds an extra facet that I might filter on from time to time but the main ones, which are time and exact strings, are the reason I use the product.
A good product that is not solely focused on rent seeking these days is worth celebrating.
replyThe problem with micropayments isn't the tech really, it's that only the users want them but not any publisher. Which is completely reasonable.
replyPublishers want them and many have tried. It is the other way around, people don't want to make micro payments. Some day they do, but the evidence proves they're wrong.
replyWould AI tokens count as a kind of prepaid micropayment?
replyLongstanding user and it is great!
replyIt is one of the very, very few digital services that hasn't fucked me over within a year.
I will celebrate as if I had discovered Kagi yesterday.
