How terrible that you have to pay for a product you use

No one wanting to pay for anything is what got us into this mess in the first place

I was thinking about the aspect of privacy. Not only do you need a user, you also have to give them your payment details.

And donโ€™t get me started on their โ€œ300 searches a monthโ€-bullshit. If I pay for 300 searches, I want my 300 searches. Regardless of how long it takes me to use it.

You can sign up to Kagi and pay anonymously, they state how to do it in their FAQ's.
