Let’s unpack:

(After free intro) monthly subscription identifies users...

Then match searches and search behaviour to each identity...

The subscription charges (likely designed to) cover operating costs, leaving highly detailed PII data sales as evergreen profit...

They’ve flipped the Google model on its head. And use that as a primary selling point, pure chutzpah.
No thanks.

@iamlost you don't sound sold!

IIRC the founder is an ex-Googler and they received $40M of funding. They'll likely be sticking around for a bit longer.

That's one expensive ad blocker for Bing. People subscribing for search? I don't see it gaining much traction.

Has anyone tried the three months free option before the $4.95 per month kicks in.

I can't see it getting mainstream kerb appeal, imho.

Heh. Ad blockers work pretty well, and most are free.
