I understand the incentive structure, but how can I be certain that you're not taking the $10 AND selling my data?
Yes they are, if you know how to use them (can definitely run them through proxies). But they're financed with the privacy of other people and I hate that model so I don't want to feed it.
LN payments are awesome, thanks for that.
What I meant by no 'free' ones, is that there is always currency involved - either your money (eg Kagi) or your data/privacy/attention (eg. most legacy search engines).

Because the moment something like that leaked, our business would be dead. This is what alignment of incentives means.
