It costs money to maintain software?

    I Kagi's case they are paying per search to connect to APIs to search other search engines and aggregate the results. They have a very real cost per search that isn't only maintaining software.

    Wouldn't that be part of the "maintenance" cost? If I run an ice cream cart, I need to keep purchasing supplies to keep selling ice cream.

    Technically yes I guess, but I would expect "maintenance" to refer to the cost of keeping the ice cream cart working and looking good, I wouldn't expect the wholesale cost of ice cream to be in the "maintenance" column of my cart finances.

    No, usually materials cost is tracked separately from equipment maintenance.

    God dang people, maintenance is in quotes for a reason.

    Wasn't supposed to be as technically correct as possible. Meant to express to the original person that things cost money, that's it.

    Ahh. So you’re fine with all the ads on YouTube? Two and a half minutes of commercials every 8 minutes on streaming services? Unblockable ads on websites?

    I block all ads from all sites on the internet.

    I pay money to the fediverse hosting foundation because hosting software costs money. I pay creators to create content because creating content costs them time and if they are going to do that thing, they need money.

    No, that’s why I pay for YouTube too. If I wouldn’t use it as much that the price is worth it, I would likely not use it at all (besides the irregular link thrown over my fence ever once in a while).
