Only seeing the light when it affects them directly. Classic.

It’s one of their best features. No ads being the best, since that also means you get real results and no “sponsored” bullshit. They also have ai slop filters.

The whole concept of “curing cancer” is such a trope. Cancer is a condition, and it annoys the fuck out of me that people treat it as one disease like measles or the flu.

This is the best thing I’ve seen all day, even better than Dick Cheney dying.

This one blog post (which is clearly a personal vendetta) is always cited when people dislike Kagi. The product itself is fantastic, and the optional AI-ish features are optional and not shoved in your face. As a subscriber, I get a yearly questionnaire sent to me which polls for customer priorities, areas for improvement, and general comments. I gladly fill it out every time, and this year I said “re-focus on search, the core product. Stop spreading resources so thinly.” I know I’m not the only one answering this way lately.

There will always be haters of a company and personal beefs which inform that. Vlad is no saint but he’s honest and direct. He believes in providing a great service and it’s worth every penny I pay for it. That can change in the future and I would rethink my stance; in the meantime, I pay for a product I like and use all the time.

Smugly smirks in Kagi

That’s a pretty good Black Mirror plot, it would be hilarious. Too bad the current “AI” isn’t even capable of math.

The modern “conservative”. So self-centered that they only give a shit about something when it affects them. They wear this lack of empathy as a badge of honor.

I’m getting pretty convinced that as people get older, they get more selfish. The evidence is all anecdotal for me, but perhaps the mentality of “I don’t have much time left, better get mine” creeps in for those who aren’t satisfied with what they have. (Which, of course, is doubly so for those who were already selfish)

But yeah that propaganda “news” is a powerful bitch.

I’m very anti-authoritarian, but man I wish we had uniforms in school where I grew up. At the time I would have hated it, but in hindsight it would have saved me a lot of bullying. Equality != authoritarian in this case.

Ah, thank you. Unintentional shitpost then? :)

So then Reddit makes more money because they can charge more for an ad slot due to higher page views. There is no way to use Reddit without them making more money.

I’d dive bomb him for those sweet flaky layers.

What am I looking at here?

Do you block their ads? Even if you do, they use your page view numbers to sell slots to ad companies at a higher price.

If you abuse that cat half as bad as you abuse emoji, I’m calling the ASPCA immediately

No, you don’t understand. Lose money on every sale, but make up for it in volume!

You’re describing an exception, which is of course real and necessary. The vast majority of a school pickup line is simply carbrain and some vague “mama bear” bullshit.
