Bing has gained a negative reputation over the years, as many people (deservedly or not) view it as a poor alternative to Google. However, Android Authority colleague Calvin Wankhede recently revealed that he was using Bing as he was getting paid to do so via Microsoft Rewards.
That got us wondering whether readers would be willing to switch to Bing, and we posted this question in Calvin’s article. So now that a few days have passed, here are the results.
Would you consider switching to Bing?
Results
This was a popular poll, accruing over 2,200 votes as of writing. It turns out the single most popular option was “only because of ChatGPT integration,” accounting for a third of all votes.
Meanwhile, 29.8% of polled readers said they’d only switch to Bing if they got paid. This effectively echoes Calvin’s reason for switching to Microsoft’s search engine.
Otherwise, 23.7% said they would indeed switch to Bing without needing ChatGPT or payment. Finally, 13.2% of surveyed readers said they wouldn’t switch to Bing at all.
Nevertheless, it’s interesting to see that 86.8% of respondents are open to switching to Bing in some form. But it’s also interesting that 63.1% of polled readers either need remuneration or a potentially game-changing feature like ChatGPT integration to hop aboard the Bing bandwagon.
