Yes, I understand you think, “hail corporate!” is a good thing, as is giving a corporation that would happily fuck you over in a second like every other corporation free advertising, and “I gave a different for-profit corporation free advertising before now” is a weird excuse to continue to do it.
Too bad there aren’t any non-profit search engines you could promote instead of the one that charges people money in order to make a profit.
But yes, I will point it out your “hail corporate!” shit every time because advertising does not belong on Lemmy.

If I remember from prior discussions, you prefer Duck Duck Go. If you want to mention that you use Duck Duck Go, I have no problem with that. I think that that’s great.

I think that Kagi has considerably less-incentive to do so than Duck Duck Go does, because they have a viable revenue model that doesn’t involve datamining me the way Google does or showing ads to me the way Duck Duck Go does. Yes, you can use an ad-blocker on Duck Duck Go, but then you’re offloading the costs onto other users who don’t do that, and in the long run, Duck Duck Go has an incentive to block users using ad blockers.
You may disagree with my assessment. But I’ve made that decision, I’m happy with it, I like the fact that Kagi added a Threadiverse search feature, and I am not going to change search engines to your favorite search engine, nor do I intend to stop telling people that I use Kagi.
You do not remember from prior discussions because I have no “preferred” search engine. Also, DuckDuckGo is just Bing and either you did not do your due diligence to learn that or you think I’m ignorant.
And I really do not care about your “hail, corporate!” excuses.
When you advertise a product on Lemmy, you are spamming and I will keep pointing it out.
Sigh. Judging from the votes, at this point it’s just "I see Flying Squid, I upvotedownvoteread what they have to sayfail to read what they have to say ??? profit! ???

Actually, is there a copycat account “FlyingSquid” with no space, or did you have to make a new account? I’ll keep an eye out, if it’s the former.

I did not make a new account and I will do that, thank you.
