I've been seeing a lot of videos and blog posts about the resurgence of #piracy in response to #enshittification . A common note is that its a _service_ problem, not a _product_ problem which is correct.
A company that has known this from the get-go and has never #enshittified is #Beatport - they're like iTunes but specifically for #EDM (sorry #bonkwave #genrepolice) I bought my first #DRM -free #mp3 tracks from Beatport in 2004 and (with some exceptions) I can _still download them today_.

The only one I know of that you can pay to use is #Kagi, but that is an #AI company from the very beginning.
I've been having good luck with #DuckDuckGo for a few years now, and ever since Google #enshittified/nerfed their search results, I no longer fall back to google for hard searches.
@Mojeek is absolutely worth a try, and my good friend @amin created #clew (https://clew.se) which is an open-culture-and-fediverse-first search engine that's definitely worth trying!!
