    I read the article, and nothing in there seems to be a valid criticism of Kagi as a search engine. It’s all about the founder not understood GDPR, or how Kagi wasted money on free t-shirts, or the writers personal opinion on AI.

    This is largely an opinion piece. It has merit as such, but please don’t take this article as factual journalism.

      I think the author makes that clear early and repeatedly and it isn’t ever framed as anything else than a walk through their thought process. I’m surprised you even felt this comment necessary. The article anchors heavily on privacy as a focus, and if you don’t care about that so much then all you have to worry about is a company that spends a couple hundred k of their startup money on t-shirts.

      So…even if their search is perfect, and you don’t care that they really just want to charge you for search while they use you to train their AI, it is a paid service, so criticism of their ability to manage money is valid as an overall product review too though.
