I’m so glad I signed up for Kagi - I tried DDG for a while but always felt it was missing huge swathes of results and invariably I’d find myself going back to the Goog to “fill in the blanks”.
Think I count on the fingers of one hand the number of times I’ve done that though in the last few months now I’m on Kagi.
And, I have to say, as a tech geek I find it utterly glorious that my searches are Quora free!
As a Kagi customer, I hope their choice to allocate nearly a third of their investor-raised funds to produce and freely distribute 20,000 t-shirts doesn’t lead to their demise.
Is kagi’s financial status that dire? Call me stupid, but I’m excited to get the shirt and feel warmly about the fact that the leadership at Kagi might actually be thinking about their early users the way described in the blog post. The $200k probably will not pay itself back from the shirts themselves, but I’m definitely going to shill kagi much harder now.

As most of you have probably noticed Google search results have seriously dropped in quality the last few years, but especially in 2023.

I just signed up. You get 100 searches for free to try it out.

> I wouldn't call myself a power user of Kagi, but even then I'm getting far better results than other search engines, definitely worth the price per month. This only works as long as Kagi is a niche. The moment any search engine becomes commonplace I think they will inevitably succumb to SEO. Otherwise, they would have to change their methodologies every once in a while to completely flip the ecosystem.
I also hope that domains which get blocked by lots of people will get reviewed for global downranking, but I don't think that's happening yet?
