Ahrefs team has built Yep by infusing close to $60 million, a search engine that is creator friendly whose profit model is to share 90% of ad revenue with content creators
Impressed that Ahrefs has built an own datacenter for the search engine, looking forward to accessing your infrastructure as Ahrefs Cloud - I would vote for low-latency lambda functions.

Congrats!
I liked the idea of giving 90% of ad revenues to content creators!
I wish you good luck because you will need it considering the competition.

Congrats on the launch! I love any team that is willing to take on an existing technology like this. I'm going to give it a shot and see how it works in my day to day search needs.
I tested it last week. I think this is a great idea! The search results are not (yet) on par with the other search engines but I am sure it will improve over time. I am a duckduckgo user today but might switch to yep in the future, especially since duckduckgo is not that independent.

I'm totally in favour of new search engines showing up to compete in this market. Sharing more revenue with creators is grate way to find its own niche. I hope people will pick it up. At the moment it seem to go a bit slow for me.
