We all know the struggle of beloved services slowly going downhill. What’s one service, tool, or website you’ve been using for years that’s still great and hasn’t turned to crap?

Wouldn’t it be great to have a search engine that would bring up sites and services like those in this thread, and exclude enshittified trash like youtube, amazon, etc etc.
Edit: Stract.com it is what Google was like in early 2000s. It’s not perfect, but its free till the dude dev running it in his basement needs paid support
that looks like some kinda weird consultancy site. maybe that ship has sailed already?
Ah crap, my bad. I misspelled it. https://stract.com/
much better!
With some manual configuration, that’s something you can do with Kagi!
If only they didn’t pay Yandex, a company affiliated with Russian govt
It comes down to the fact that Kagi’s first priority in search is providing the best results, so they’re not going to turn down access to another search api based on politics.
Good point. I would prefer to crowdsource the whitelist I think. Also, it would be cool to do stuff like search youtube but bring up a link to a dis-enshittified youtube intermediary.
That is also something you can do with Kagi. 😆 I have it set up so that all YouTube results redirect me to Invidious, as well as Reddit and Twitter for their respective frontends.
