I don’t know why you’re being downvoted, you’re right. The value prop is different for different people. But I use search a lot more than I use YouTube, so I pay for the former and not the latter. I think that over time, people will get more used to the idea of paying for search. Not everyone, but plenty of people who want the premium experience it offers. I know I could never go back.

People here loves to downvote for every little shit they disagree with... And they say Reddit is toxic... Anyway, I don't care. I just disable "show score" in settings and let the kids play.

Back to the topic, I don't use youtube at all, I don't like watching videos. I think Kagi is a great idea, but honestly 10 €/month is a lot of money for me at the moment, so I'm just self-hosting SearXNG and call it a day.
