Probably a bullshit scam if not an outright honeypot but I did see a review of freespoke.com on jim stone earlier. Seriously though I do not have a good option. Most 'independent' ones merely filter google results through a third party. Google has gone to shit. Not just due to censorship or pushing their agenda but in terms of delivering results. It has hidden criteria to redirect you to more commonly searched terms, implied contexts that it restricts the field too, and even if they still made a quality product most major sites devote a good bit of effort to defeating it in order to rank higher. It has gotten to the point that it will ignore several operators.
