For comparison, $25-30/month is the lower end of what US mobile carriers charge per line. That $25-30/month gets you access to a nationally covered 5G/4G mobile ISP that cost billions to build out. Having said that, does it seem reasonable to assign the same monthly value for an early stage search engine?

The multi billion dollar carriers certainly didn’t start out at $25 a month…

Why American programmers? I don't see anything on that list indicative of that, and many of the top blocked sites are gTLDs.

Mainly the foxnews.com and breitbart.com being in the top 15 (top 10 if you count all the Pinterest domains as one) in the Block list. As a non-American, I hardly ever see these in my search results, and wouldn't have felt a need for a Block filter for them.

And while there's some British news presence (Guardian and Daily Mail), and what seems to be a Chinese one (kknews.cc), American news media is the one with the heaviest presence (CNN, NY Post, NY Times, etc.).
