The Google results started going bad for me around when project humming bird came along. We need a distributed open data alternative that can be tweaked for your proferences transparently.

And we also need to start paying for the internet. The malvertising model we have now is unsustainable and crippling the network in favour of Facebook and Google.

Wonder if some organization like ACLU or the like take up such a project and release a paid version for power users.


I would pay for a personalized search engine. I think if the results are ad free I'd pay 10-15 per year (not much since Google is decent).


What's stopping you from doing it?
