Kagi is awesome. And frankly, it's the end game. Just pay for your search full stop. The original 1990's assertion that "information wants to be free" and all that related nonsense never really passed the laugh test.
Being able to search the web is critical to day-to-day life. Why wouldn't you pay for it? I pay for all sorts of dumb stuff I barely use. I use Kagi every day.
Because I am paying for their service, I know that they are trying to provide me the best service they can - we are aligned. I want to pay for good service, they want to get me good service.
I pay for Kagi not because of political value system. I pay for it because it's just better than Google. I encourage you to try it. It's night and day.

- singleshot_ 4mo ago> The original 1990's assertion that "information wants to be free" and all that related nonsense never really passed the laugh test. It didn’t even pass the end of the paragraph where the quote originated.
- kgwxd 4mo agoI assume to use the paid search, you need to be authenticated to search? Privacy NIGHTMARE. Just because they're taking your money, doesn't mean they care about you.
- JackGreyhat 4mo agoThey have a solution for that, called privacy pass. It uses tokens to show the system you are a paid user, but supposedly does not reveal who you are. I haven't tried it myself, so I have no idea if it works as it should. I'm still deciding to subscribe or not.

- sharts 4mo agoWhat’s so great about Kagi? Is it better than having an LLM search for you?
