I did lol, why the hell would I recommend it otherwise?
It’s a search engine, so to be better than the others it’s obvious it would have to return better results than the usual ad-based crap — and it does. There is a free trial and you can check out if it’s worth it for you btw
It has quite a lot of QoL features for searches, but their main one — searching — is worth the cost; if you do a search once in a blue moon or append “Reddit” at the end of a query, it’s not imo since any search engine is “good enough” for that. If you instead actually do a search without having a specific website in mind, it’s good. You can also filter out the quora and other shitty websites results, which is nice
Not directly saying that you're doing this, but c'mon, you know the answer. Why would anyone recommend a paid product?
Nice! I didn't know there was a trial. Good to know.
Oh, now we're talking!! That's very cool.
Cause the free alternatives are trash, so… it’s not like “free is better” is always true
