Even if it were a process as invasive and painful as getting a bank account, it would remain the only technology that enables users to get a search account privately (since Kagi says cash is not scalable for them). Given the level of snark and off-topicness, I presume you don't actually expect me to answer the question with dozens of different methods.
This is a company that claims over and over that they are privacy-respecting, but are running a service that unnecessarily collects your real ID via credit card, otherwise you can't do searches. After seeing what happened to Google, I am shocked that people like you are so dismissive toward me for trying to hold them to account and caring about this issue. Yes I react with religious fervor at this issue - privacy. This is an age where companies are handing over information to convict people for seeking abortions even in the US.
If you have another solution then please share it.

Dozens of different methods to ... buy crypto? You can keep them. I would trust something like Kagi more than any crypto exchange to keep my privacy. You are right that it may not be a good idea to have all your searches tied to your identity, but mixing crypto into that won't help.
- slikrick 3y agoyou have to trust not just kagi: the server hosts kagi uses, kagi security policies, all kagi employees, the country kagi operates in, and kagi as a business in perpetuity (not getting bought or drastically changing just to survive). I can't trust that forever. So it's really just simple that they should have a way to dissociate accounts with searches and payments properly
