I think paid search is a very interesting niche to watch. I reckon fewer people pay for search engines than anything else — even though most of our interactions with modern web start with a search engine. This gives me hope for people getting used to paying for internet services.
I've never heard about Kagi before but checked some examples of their search results and they look very good compared to Google. Would love to have "Pay per use" pricing. BTW their product reminds me of this old post on Kiwi about "Boutique Search Engines": https://news.kiwistand.com/stories?index=0x6527ee71451fa98259d2b91a3a66e569ebb458e09d04cdbf247e862c492f8554ea06c86c
I think we should index all of the links submitted on Kiwi News and then upgrade @matallo's Kiwi Search such that you can "Google-search" the latest and greatest crypto-related content easily. Either that or straight-up feed it into an LLM lol
