Their help page says you can download to watch where you don't have an internet connection. So if there is some DRM BS then that's going directly against what their help page indicates.

Now I will say that Tidal worked flawlessly so I at least had some music.

So... what's the point of downloading then?

That would be great for the consumer but not exactly sustainable as a business plan. It doesn't look like the numbers are published, but I have to imagine that a large percentage of InReach subscribers never need to use the SOS functionality.

I'm not balking at the idea of paying, I'm balking at the specific pricing. I understand that Google makes more than that but Kagi's goal can't be to be one of the most profitable companies on the planet.

Honestly I would love if they did something like per-search pricing where you can set a monthly limit rather than paying for either 300 searches or unlimited.

The pricing is just... challenging. I'm not going to pay $20 per month for my family to switch search engines.

They are dominant in the budget tablet space.

If you're buying a tablet from them and side loading the play store they are losing money. They sell Fire tablets for a loss to encourage you to buy stuff from their ecosystem.

It's the same nonsense as the Sonos lawsuits against Google. Controlling the volume of multiple speakers playing the same content through an app is far too broad, yet here we are.

I get what you're saying but how do you implement that? When I was 17 I was dating a girl who had just turned 19. Facebook wasn't a thing then but should I not have been able to be her MySpace friend?
