Web search APIs can't present the full document due to copyright. They can only present the snippet contextual to the query.
I wrote my own implementation using various web search APIs and a puppeteer service to download individual documents as needed. It wasn't that hard but I do get blocked by some sites (reddit for example).
How in the world does this necessitate a subscription? All of these things can work without centralization, setup once, and contained entirely within the home.

I can only speculate.
But, there is demand to improve sleep quality. The provider wants to charge a monthly fee for that.
The market simply puts buys and sellers together. People making business decisions will stick with Econ 101--charge what the market will bare, and why shouldn't they?
That’s not the worst thing a corp can do. The worst things a corp can do is sell your private data to someone else, monopolize a critical function and squeeze you dry, or block you from a monopolized utility that is critical to modern society.
Plus the common privacy threats: stalkers in the company accessing your private information, technical gaffes or breaches or unconcern exposing your private information, both of which could derail your life depending on what sort of marginalized groups you're a part of.
A stalker in LEO is bad, yes, but so is a stalker in your apartment lock managing company or at any other number of non-government companies you're forced to interact with.
Not having Google accounts isn't the end of the world, but given the amount that many (most?) of us rely on their services (I think of all the accounts I have tied to my @gmail email and cringe, but still I'm there), this is fairly disasterous.
The board is backwards and black to move. It’s annoying in that chess puzzles should always have black on top and white on bottom, and a caption of whose move it is. It’s clear in the FEN, but the image reverses it with no explanation.
I mean, I disagree that a chess board should only ever be represented from the perspective of white. Or rather, I cannot square being even remotely decent at chess and being unable to figure out whose perspective it is from the labelling of the ranks and files.
It's just a norm and has been for centuries. For composed positions it should also generally be white to move.
You're right that this isn't necessary (particularly when the board is labeled) but by doing something weird you're just going to distract and confuse some chunk of people from the point you're trying to make - exactly as happened here.
Going to toss my hat in the ring about community shift. You don’t need to get everyone to move over to a new platform. You have to get the 5 most active members to switch. Communities are very largely built up of lurkers and a very small majority carry the weight of providing leadership and content. No matter the tech you choose, find a way to get those key people to switch and maybe the rest will follow.
Yup. Anyone who still maintains an account on any Meta product (including WhatsApp) is giving this shit their full-throated support in the only way Zuck cares about. And that says nothing about the kinds of horrible people still working there.
