I live in a country which uses a language I don’t speak but Google defaults to regional results in spite of my language being set to English. All other engines give me really poor results (not that Google was giving good ones, the image search has really gone to shit since they started populating it with AI stuff).
I’ll be that weird guy using Bing! Ive signed up for Bing Rewards so I at least get some payment for the data they’re collecting. Also the Bing ChatGPT feature is interesting and useful at times.
I use it too for the rewards. I had the exact same thought as you–at least they pay me for collecting data.
