   This is one of the problematic outcomes of enshitification: I can no longer pay money for services that I want, because I know that someday they'll change the service in a way that harms me.

   I can't bring myself to pay for anything because I can't trust any company with my identity or payment info.

     I don't like that Kagi requires a login. I understand why they have a login, otherwise they couldn't charge for their services.

     But the inability to perform an anonymous search is a fail for me. I fear that, in the long run, they will change their ToS and collect/sell my search history – with that history connected to me personally – and this rules them completely out from where I stand.

     This lesson in trust was hard learned; I won't forget it.
