    I love to mock people who use the library by shouting “If you’re not the payer then you’re the product!”

    Westerners are so baby-brained on this shit. Kagi can take your money and still spy on you. Yandex can not take your money and still not bother caching your search history, because there’s no good way for them to monetize it. Nevermind GitHub or Wikipedia or literally any other public good being hosted on any website anywhere.

    The delusion that you’re safe using a free service is matched only by the delusion that you’re protected because you paid someone money.
