I don't understand people who say they'll pay for a #searchengine. Not only is all that public data and knowledge, but they pretend like #SearXNG don't exist - which basically includes indexing from many search engines.
In some cases, it's just another #LLM and selling of tokens. Fine - pay per process is fine. But let's not pretend that these LLMs have anything more special than the aforementioned public data at their disposal, and let's not pretend that this algorithm can't also be skewed.
Like how do you know that a #searchengine company that takes a monthly #subscription fee won't be selling your data? "It's in the service agreement"...
The point of failure here is a matter of law and if said laws are enforceable. You could make hijacking gryphons illegal, an offense punishable with a fine or 2 fairies in a jar - or a stint in the troll sex dungeon.
None of that is enforceable, and the same goes for preventing companies with access to your data from selling said data.
