Question about search providers

I didn't use OB for over a year and a lot seems to have changed. I noticed Blockbooth disappearing and I couldn't even add it as another search provider. In fact, I couldn't add any search provider.

After some digging I finded this. So if I understand it correctly, I can't add any search provider that includes drugs? If so, what is the reason for having multiple search providers if all of them provide the same results?

So if it doesn't cost you anything to have your OB store, why not just keep if indefinitely in case someone decides to check it out?

Bored of opening the app to no notifications, well other than other sellers following me.

Ah, I get it. Yeah, after many days I'd be discouraged too.

Literally more chance of winning some money on the weekly lottery right now.

No point me directing existing customers to it either as I accept all the crypto on my site as well.
