it being an American platform is a problem, using English isn't
>>220326014Nothing wrong to use the internet to spread racism towards USA.I also type my racism towards american on a keyboard made in china.
>>220326156These options
YouTube is the hardest to replace Everything else has European alternatives or can easily be replicated
>>220326849Be the change you want to see

>>220326893I don't have 100 billion to spend 10-20 years of constant losses on establishing a platform with network effect >>220326937The value is in the audience and the comment section, not in the ability to play videos
So fucking sick of how Americal social media companies have monopolised online engagement, like I think the short video format browsing used by Instagram and Tiktok could be so fucking good if it was community and locally focused instead of being flooded with insane levels of goyslop and political agendas forced by the algorithm.
I have been supporting Kagi Search since before it launched. Not because I enjoy paying for things that used to be free. Because my time is not negotiable and my search results are not advertising inventory.30% of a knowledge worker's day goes to searching for information (Forrester). One full month per year lost to bad results (Slite, 2025). Not obscure things. Things that should have been the first result.The DecayGoogle's trust score dropped from 7.05 to 5.73 in one year. Market share fell from 91.47% to 89.57%: the largest annual drop in a decade. People are not leaving because something better arrived. They are leaving because Google got worse.Leipzig University studied 7,392 queries across Google, Bing, and DuckDuckGo. Finding: higher rank correlates with lower text quality. The majority of top results are affiliate-monetised. Algorithm updates have "only a temporary positive effect." The spam war is over. Spam won.The Al Overviews TaxHalf of all US queries now trigger Al Overviews. Zero-click rate with Al Overviews: 83%. Eighty-three out of a hundred end in an Al summary.37% of finance-related Al Overviews contain inaccuracies. Google removed health queries entirely. The feature that was meant to save you a click now gives you wrong answers faster. Rather efficient, that.The AlternativeWhen a search engine is free, you are not the customer. You are the inventory. Every result is a negotiation between what you need and what someone paid to show you.When you pay, that negotiation disappears. The product becomes the answer.I use Kagi. Two independent selfmade crawlers (Teclis, TinyGem), curated sources, no ads, no tracking. The best result quality I have seen from any search engine, and I have tried most of them. Brave built its own index from scratch too. Both independent of Google. Both funded by users, not advertisers.The price of a good search engine is a coffee and a slice of cake per month. The price of a free one is your afternoon.

>>220327417The winning strategy is finding out how to continue including losses for them but without giving them what they want out of it
We should decouple from the EU.
