     @allison no idea, just started using it and I'm already relatively satisfied. Putting to prefer non-commercial web content works and from the short searches I've seen the results are just as good as google for things that google aren't fucking up, like a snes game search. Yandex ain't bad but it's all rom sites and nearly nothing else and it took a while to show me the a relevant video too while kagi had it on top (customisable)
     
     And then I can banish garbo like Giantbomb and uprank/downrank any websites I want

     @coolboymew I know Kagi's sister project Teclis sourced results from Marginalia's index at one point, I wonder if Kagi itself does?

     @coolboymew Yeah for sure if I had steady income I'd absolutely pay for Kagi given everything I've heard about it from others. In the meantime, I just have a bunch of improvisational measures with Marginalia and other B-list search engines to coax them into finding good results for me (or at the very least better than the garbage you'd find on GBY these days)

     @coolboymew $10 a month for an uncensored search engine that doesn't track me, doesn't lie to me, and doesn't promote commie bullshit?

     @feinzer I have never used that so I can't compare. However that uses already existing search engine and I don't know. Yandex is schizophrenic, Google can be awful at times, Bing is kinda, ehh? So I'm unsure if a mix of these would be usable

     @coolboymew is it better than using a searxng instance configured with your preferred engines?

     @coolboymew@shitposter.club I have to try kagi at some point, carrot2 is nice, but its more of a frontend for an unholy mix of a number of search engines.

     @coolboymew im still waiting for fandom to merge the giantbomb wiki into their gay system. It's sad that site still exists considering literally everyone involved with it has left or died.

     @crunklord420 It was once very beloved but I never really watched them much, as I pretty much tried to avoid all extensive video game journalism after the Mario Galaxy 1 shitshow where I had more or less the entire game spoiled. What's the point?
     
     Anyways, western game journos never share my extremely weeb tastes in games, so there was no interest
     
     But the Giantbomb wikis were kinda pointless, Gamefaqs, mobygames and co has all this shit already

     @coolboymew Jeff Gerstmann, the main guy, was personally obsessed with the wiki.

     @crunklord420 well, it sure did bring the hits I guess, but did these hits converts to watchers and subscribers?

     @coolboymew I see. Well, i feel like vimm is quite the "old school" site too, in its own way, but i guess that's not what you were looking for.

     @coolboymew no, I'm pretty sure he said if it wasn't for his personal obsession with it, it would have been killed long ago. Pretty sure Twitch used to use their wiki API to source their game database for categories, I don't know if that's true anymore.
     
     It was interesting to see GB get sold and bought so many times.

     @noyoushutthefuckupdad @coolboymew well, given that you have to have an account they can definitely track you - you're placing trust in them that they won't

     @billiam @coolboymew do they let me pay with crypto or a prepaid debit card? if not, it can't trust that it's truly anonymous.
