For distances >600km, flying is usually 4x-10x faster at a similar price. At least in and around Germany. I assume in the US trains compare way worse, also because the distances are way larger.

Examples: “Normal” example: Stuttgart (Germany) -> Amsterdam (Netherlands) Train: 11h 10min - 241€ Plane: 1h 20min - 225€

Best case scenario for train in Germany at around that distance (because there’s a direct connection): München -> Berlin Train: 3h 54min - 167€ Plane: 1h 5min - 226€

I think it changed it after they were bought by Microsoft, you get infinite(?) private repos on a free account now.

They place ads in the search results.

If you disable your ad blocker, the first search result will almost always an Amazon ad. I test searched for “Headphones” and it also shows a row of JBL headphones at the top ala google shopping, which is an ad as well.

Really, they make their money the same way as google, they just don’t track your searches and site visits.

• No ads
• Creators get more money than from ads
• YouTube is less dependent on advertisers
• You can get it in a bundle with YouTube music It’s not that bad of a deal. Music and YouTube are the two pieces of media I consume most, so it makes sense for me.

That, but AFAIK they get most of their money for setting google as the default search engine.
