I find it kind of hilarious that a paid search engine is highlighting paid articles to help their users avoid them.

Why? There's nothing wrong with paying for something (including some news sites), and when I search for a topic I'm looking for something I can actually read. Knowing that a link will get me nowhere without the credit card is useful.

You’re paying them to rank and collect information from things on the web for you. People can’t subscribe to everything and it’s nice as a user of a search engine to know if it’s a requirement.

Many top 10 searches are paywalled and a waste of time clicking on, this seems like exactly the sort of thing people want from a search engine?

Subscribed for a year after a free trial. Returns more relevant results than Bing, snappy interface and just overall gives you a good impression. They have a fast GPT powered article summarizer, which I find extremely useful when exploring library documentation. Not something that a plain ChatGPT cannot do, of course, but Kagi is just faster. You should as well check out their lightweight webkit based browser, Orion (MacOS only).
