Until there’s need to incentivise their creators anymore.

Exactly .. unless it's a legal contract, it will only be a matter of time before they get greedy. Human Nature
However, I don't really care, I am ready to even block googlebot for any search engine that gets respectable share of visitors.
On the good side, Dmitry is the only one who can pull this off

Treat Google like a mountain. You can climb the mountain, but you can't move it. - Jeff Bezos
I don't know how I feel about this. If their search becomes popular, people will try to game it.
Ahrefs right now provides a lot more data about a website and people will figure out what it values. This would lead to a more black box approach in their site explorer product, possibly coupled with higher subscription prices.

Yea this seems like a joke, but if you really think about it, you still need a good semantic AI that gives good relevant info. I see no correlation between incentivizing and search result improvement here.

I'm optimistic about this one.
At least they're trying.

Well, close to 99% of small sites will die without ever been ranked..

Well, if you know the economics of a content site, then it shouldn't die.

They are acting as if their existing services are any cheap. Ahrefs tries to make as much as they can from their exisitng services while empathizing with the customers of their future competitors.

Well I have a site that is about five years old and it has about 90 pages of content all written by me (am not a good writer at all). I did not build backlinks or pbn, however after about 3 yrs one of my very low competition keyword started to rank on page one and it was bringing me some revenue from amazon. But then came algorithm updates and I don't see the page ranking anywhere. Now if I had an authority site with thousands of pages of content and backlinks then I could rank low competition keywords easily. To build that kind of authority it would take lots of killer content or time or backlinks.....but content =$ and backlinks=$. And if you don't have $ then it would take time, maybe 10 or 20 years to build that kind of authority for a small site. I am sure most new small site owners don't have enough capital initially or may have lost most of it on some shitty courses!
