I have definitely noticed that the search results are often old now. I constantly have to set "past year". Something that was otherwise rare not even a year or two ago.

I would like to pay for Kagi. But with this economy I'm belt tightening and adding another subscription seems crazy. Even if the experience is 100x better than Google's.

Search is one of the most complex and sophisticated products in the world. Genuinely curious, what other subscriptions are more important than access to high quality information that makes you even just 2x more productive and competitive in the world?

If you asked this in court, lawyers would stand up and say, "Objection! Leading!"

That's an argument, not a question.

Fair, I was interested in whether the argument was overlooked or already acknowledged and there is no way? to probe without inserting it.

(Side note: on TV, the lawyer says, "Objection, your Honor! Counsel is leading the witness!"

I've been to real trials. They don't bother with all that verbiage. "Leading!" is all they have to say.)

I don't disagree with you. But I've been slashing all of my subscriptions. At least to test whether I truly need said product. For instance I cancelled Intellij and used VS Code for 1.5 months. Went back after proving it was worth the sub.

It's hard to justify adding a new subscription when I'm getting by just fine without it.
