    I’m not casting aspersions on kagi, I’ve heard nothing but good things about them, but I don’t agree with the idea that paying means you’re not the merchandise. Once a company gets greedy enough, with few enough competitors, you’ll be both the customer and the merchandise.

      Here’s a negative then: AI summaries are on all tiers. That means you’re paying/subsidizing them, even if you don’t use them.

      If they offered tiers without AI summaries (with a lower price due to the loss of a so-called “feature”) then we can talk

        Recent history shows that people are realy terrible at reavaluating their choices when companies go deep into enshitification.
