I take it that means you feel it’s worth the cost? I have a hard time since search is something I’ve been so used to being free
For me, yes, but thats because im a heavy search engine user and like the customization features. We pay for the duo plan for both my husband and I. My husband doesnt use it much, maybe a handful of searches a week, but me on the otherhand I far exceed the free search limit with how often I search for things. I also love having the ability to block, lower, or raise a specific site in my results. Very satisfying to open up a shit site, see its shit, and then block it from ever appearing in my search results again.
Absolutely, I do. You have been paying Google: with your privacy, viewing tons of ads, and manipulation via rigged search results. Fixing that is worth the price to me. I admit it requires a shift in mindset, but I couldn’t go back now.
