Your business model is non-viable. Google sucks, but it’s free and you cannot compete with free for the masses.

They said that about email too, until companies like Proton got 100M+ users and became very profitable 😉

You get 100M users I’ll tattoo your name on my forehead. Hell, you get 1M (excluding forced corporate search deals) and I’ll do it.

"Charging for thing that doesn't suck" for people who don't want to use "free thing that sucks" is a pretty famously viable business model

the target audience for this product is distinctly the market of people who think google being free has been what directly contributed to enshittification to maximize ad revenue. it's not competing with google, it's grabbing an untapped market
