I have been using Presearch at home for quite a while, and recently added it to my work PC thinking oh you know I earn and stuffs.
But Presearch also irritates me just enough to finally call it. I will just straight up use the Ducky again for searching and if I want proper image results I tend to go for Google.
Personally I don't really care about the whole privacy thing with Google and doubt Ducky or Presearch make any difference but I do like Ducky search even though they pay me nothing unlike Presearch.
Somehow Presearch has a habit of getting in my way, if some search result is unable to be found it just straight up breaks and I need to use another engine anyhow.
Then there is the irritating logout or not logging. I currently have about 292Pre or whatnot and really what that means is I have 0.
You can only claim at 1000 tokens. Fair enough a cap is good, Brave has that to some extent. As in I can't be tipping less than 5 tokens. So my alt browsers just kinda wait till they get to 5, it is no skin off my back and Brave rewards have come in clutch quite often.
Pre rewards... Exactly.
With the current structure of Presearch you need to be using the search for about 400 days at maximum to hit the 1000 token Claim.
I get it, they do not want to get milked and all that jazz. It makes sense, and although accordingly I have used Presearch since March 2021 I am probably another year out being able to then claim my 1000 tokens.
Now I guess there are some options, possibly like staking which I have seen but doubt it means I can use the supposedly earned Pre tokens to earn from staking.
Now I guess it hardly matters , search is search, which is why it probably does not matter that I will just forget about the little bit of Pre I have gained and just use Ducky for uninterrupted and working search results.
They just irk me.
Next I think I will be looking into some search engines that possibly do allow you to earn in some form. Surely Presearch is not the only one that exists, unfortunately I have a feeling many of these things will be on that stupid Ethereum...
I guess we will see, either Brave moves into search or Google has a solid chance for another monopoly.
