Thank you your kind feedback! I totally agree that paying for things it is much better way to get mindful of what you're doing. I guess the problem of time wasted on useless behavior is more prominent on social media, not search, but the general principle should still apply.

Building a new Web Search Engine. Just for you, Stackers!

I like it. One thing that Stacker News has shown me, and your search engine is very similar, is that even micropayments (a few sats) is enough of a cost to deter unwarranted use. I really think twice about posting something that might not get rewarded on SN because then I'm at a net loss. With your search engine too, I don't want to spend sats on useless, frivolous energy-draining searches. Having to pay, keeps that usage focused and in check. Using the lightning network is really a remarkable way for developers to build a better internet experience. My hat's off to all of you pioneering that work.
