I’ve spent money on things because I had to, I’ve spent money because I wanted to. I have rarely spent money on something because the idea just sounded good and been so consistently pleased with what I received for my investment. It’s not free, but Kagi is a small investment for a vastly improved (and customizable) search experience.

But how will you live with yourself when every search for library documentation or a programming language doesn't flood the first page with expertsexchange, w3schools, geeksforgeeks, favtutor, freecodecamp, and a pile of other tissue-thin content covered with popups?

medium is the 2024 expertsexchange

You haven't lived until you searched and found something useful on expertsexhange. The euphoria is unparalleled.

It’s like spotting a beautiful unicorn!

I should boost expertsexchange.com in my kagi search results just for the joy.

I'm so old I remember the times when it was useful...

I went there, and it looks like it's a pay site. It wants me to sign up for a free trial. Not sure how I'm supposed to search it.

I don't know how it works in 2024, but it used to work like this:

- Google would show the result, on Experts Exchange.

- You'd go there and the result would be cut off, and it'd tell you to pay to see it.

- Since Google required the results to actually be there somewhere, you could still scroll waaaay down past all the nonsense to the full text right at the bottom.

TBH with a uBlock Origin + PiHome and some ctrl+f you can even find useful information in those SEO/spam sites ;)

Sex changes aren’t just for experts anymore!

Best $10 I spend every month.

I'd say food and water would be your best $10 investment

I'd rather cut $10 out of my food budget than my search engine budget. As it stands, I spend a lot more than $10 each month on food.
