  What would you say if Google.com was down for 2 hours due to a server upgrade? Do you pay Google for searching? Bonus points if you do actually. Their search API is limited to 100 a day, which is not a lot.

    If you're using google search, you're paying google in ad impressions.

        Aren't those free for Y Combinator companies? Also you could just say the entire site is an ad for Y Combinator.
