we're a bootstrapped team, we can't give away everything for free (and search is free!)

𝓵𝓲𝓿𝓲𝓷𝓰 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓮𝓷𝓭𝓵𝓮𝓼𝓼 𝓼𝓾𝓶𝓶𝓮𝓻 · bootstrapping apps · stride.systems · skeet.build · buoy.club

that definitely shouldn't be happening, you searched on web? 

is it possible you hit the "create buoy" after searching? That will bring up the paywall

here's a free buoy account that is doing a web search

you can also search free with our mini app

buoy.club

here's what i experienced:
1. go to my beloved searchcaster
2. see deprecation notice, referring to buoy
3. go to buoy, find the search button, search something
4. see the paywall

same, it‘s so hard

We also added paywalls to Kiwi multiple times and we also got the aggressive treatment from users. Even to the point where Nouns complained about our 6 USD paywall back when u had to pay thousands to buy a noun lol

web3 users think token or the highway somehow and it‘s not good

not everything needs a token right away
