Glad to see more experimentation with a model that aligns economics with creators. What's unclear to me: Why would consumers use this to search the web instead of Google, DuckDuckGo, and others? I might be missing something! :)

@rrhoover probably better search experience for creator-related content and less search spam...

@rrhoover My guess as a consumer: no tracking + knowing/hoping you’re supporting the publishers.

@rrhoover @ovushkan It's great to see this initiative, but how will creators be compensated? How do creators get paid?

@rrhoover @anna_0x this. It's the same reason I use Tidal instead of Spotify--I want creators to get more of the profits over big corporations.

@rrhoover I'm sure, like myself, they are tired of doing searches and getting nothing but ad-buying clickbait. I used to be able to go to the first page and get something real. Now it's all affiliate-scraping junk.

Hey @botsbreeder. Would love to know more about how the revenue share works. How do creators get paid?

It is verryy slick! But what's Ahrefs' strategy to win in a turf that even Microsoft is struggling with!?

Hey @rrhoover This app is interesting, plans of making such more? please bless us with your more idea!

For generic search terms it doesn't seem to return anything - is this a search engine for a specific vertical? Searches occasionally return results but it seems to be struggling with the producthunt user load It would be great to see a genuine competitor to Google / Bing / Others - I hope this is it!

I was waiting for this launch and will gladly use this search engine that supports creators and equal opportunity for humankind. Yep @botsbreeder !

I knew long ago a search engine by @ahrefs is coming when @botsbreeder gave few hints. I hope Yep becomes a popular search engine. Used by millions globally which may then dent Google's dominance & monopoly & they may start thinking more about users.
