      https://d-shoot.net/kagi.html

      Basically everything being said here. They don’t offer the source code of quite a few of their apps, they have very delirious ideas about what is identifiable information, they are trying to jump into the AI bandwagon, they don’t seem to have a serious plan to keep financing all the things they are doing, the dude wants to do some filtering of news based on “biased” “unbiased”, doesn’t listen to critique from users, etc.

      Almost certainly just somebody that distrusts all business by default.

      I am all for holding business to account but can we not acknowledge that much of what we love in our lives would not be possible without business?

      Kagi is not my friend or anything but they seem like a pretty decent company to me. I have seen no reason to be so cynical about them.

        A search company which requires an account with your actual email? And doesn’t accept anonymous payments?

        It’s fine as one of the options, but if there’s no option for tokenized identity (that’s easy to change when the plan runs out) and anonymous payments, it’s a data collecting operation like any other.

        See Mullvad and PPQ for how it’s done correctly.

        It could be better.
