Is anyone paying for Kagi, the search engine? What is your experience with it? (kagi.com)

Kagi is a subscription-based search engine that argues that paying for search is a reasonable thing to do in order to avoid ads and companies selling your information. They also have lenses, e.g. for searching the fediverse specifically. Anyone that wants to share their experience of using Kagi?

I've been pondering this as well. I've been running my own SearXNG instance for several years, and for most of that it was really nice. Recently I've been getting rate-limited/block/slowed by damn near every provider. I'm the only one who uses it, so no searches are that excessive. No amount of tweaking is helping all that much.

Kagi may be worth it just to avoid having to mess with that.
