Kagi founder here. Also a long time HN user and as such I too share your concern that we get too much exposure here. I do not know what to say but that I am eternally grateful to HN, as it is what enabled Kagi's existance. We have no marketing budget and majority of our users come from HN, so I can confirm that the comments you see here are authentic.

Hi, I appreciate your response here. However, having no marketing budget and comments being authentic don't clear those Kagi related comments from being associated with Kagi.

> Kagi just happens to be pretty popular here _Pretty_ popular? Outside of Rust, Kagi might have the most fanatic following of any topic on HN. Which, while I'm sure Kagi is very happy with, is really rather annoying as a someone who doesn't care for it. Every conversation search-adjacent is just comments of "I pay for Kagi and it was the best dollars I've ever spent".

Is every other search tool's complete failure to come close to Kagi in being useful, and marginalia in being interesting, a particular pain point for you for some reason?

I never realized before that sentence, but the presence of ads and tracking on a webpage is correlated really well with me never wanting to read its content. I might sign up to Kagi just for that.

The fact that people who are not affiliated with the company go out of their way to suggest people to use kagi and pay with their hard earned money is a testament to how much people enjoy and value the product. Personally, if I could own Kagi stock, I would.

You can also change your Reddit settings to use the old UI for www.reddit.com.

It doesn't work on mobile though.

It's OK. One thing it does is rope "reddit" into the "Forums" Lens, which on face seems good but I search mostly for car stuff and forums are a trove there. Feature request: block a domain? "saab 900 power steering rack -reddit" still returns a ton of reddit results.

This is actually already possible! https://help.kagi.com/kagi/features/website-info-personalize... You can block specific domains, as well as make them rank lower. And if you ever want to ignore those rules, you can easily do that too! Not affiliated with Kagi in any way, just a very happy user.
