If the streaming services did this, I would probably have a lot more of them.

I will sign back up for a paid service when funding Russian search engine Yandex is dropped. Many like to forget there is a war.
Only paying customers seem happy about Kagi. I have a strange feeling that a lot of paying customers think Kagi search is "better" just because their brain wants to justify them paying for search. Is there a psychological term for such a syndrome?
I don't know why you're throwing this out here without anything to support it.
Subscribed! I have a severe subscription fatigue, so I was avoiding Kagi. But with this change, it makes it much less problematic. That reminds me, I need to cancel my 24 Hour Fitness subscription.
edit: use of Yandex on the other hand.. yeah that's a no go for paid subscription.
This makes sense, if someone isn't using your service for a month, chances are good that they are going to cancel soon. Maybe they'll keep on paying for another few months, but if they're not using it, they're not getting any value from it. So rather than getting them to cancel, pause their subscription.

It is paid service, what is the other option? People that don't use the service being happy with it?
> because their brain wants to justify them paying for search

Fifteen years ago people were talking about micropayments per article for news services being just around the corner. What ever happened to that?
