Kagi implemented automatic pausing on your subscription if you don't use it, so it's actually not the same here.
I think Kagi being nice is not a valid argument for accepting lots of low-cost subscriptions in your life.
I think brave search deserves a mention; I've been using it now for years and have better results than with google. I believe kagi is a lot better than brave search, but because I am having good results with brave[1] I am unlikely to pull out my credit card. [1] Every search I do also has an LLM response at the top, which is often just enough for me to not even look at the results. Where brave fails is in the image a…

For me, YouTube Premium (for family) is so worth it because: - It removes ads for my kids, which are going to watch YouTube no matter what I do - It includes YouTube Music, so I don't need a separate Spotify subscription - It sends money to creators based on what I proportionally spend time watching, rather than based on how valuable of an audience I'm deemed to be when an ad slot is auctioned - It is a signal that I…
Rather send money directly to creators rather than filtering it through Google.

10 dollars is like, a sandwich. Access to your search engine for a month is less useful than a sandwich?
Kagi isn't competing against no access to a search engine, it's competing against Google, DDG, etc etc which are free (or more specifically, you could say ads are the cost). Kagi needs to not just be worth $10, but also worth ($10 - ads) more than the alternatives.

And what if they simply missed that it continued charging with the stripe email? It’s a dark pattern that they should fix.
They are fixing it. The only debate in this thread is whether they should automatically refund everybody who might have been affected, regardless whether that person intended to continue or not. That's a pretty different thing.
I get it, people love Kagi, I do too. But this is a bad pattern that they should never have allowed on the first occurrence.
Yes they said they are looking into fixing it but it was a soft commitment and they also should think about refunding folks.

As will the manual of ffmpeg itself, for what it's worth.
Yes, but a llm (or good old stackoverflow) are faster for most people.

Happy paying customer of Kagi here. because to me intention counts. Kagi has the explicit intention to serve me their best results. Google has the explicit intention to get me to click on their customers results. Happy to pay kagi.
Use an ad blocker.

$10 is a reasonable price for a sandwich in any decent sandwich shop in the US. I live in Mississippi, crappiest economy in the nation. I assume people are thinking they meant the cost of a homemade bologna sandwich or something, otherwise this conversation is pretty absurd.
I'm in the capital city of Germany, a sandwich in the bakery around the corner is about 3-4 euros.
This whole conversation has reminded me of the $5 milkshake conversation in Pulp Fiction.
I’ve signed up for the Kagi trial, so far I’m liking it. Breath of fresh air compared to the free ones. Best result, first position.

What tools do you use for command line searching?
Currently, the script looks like this #!/bin/sh 0x $1|yy084|yy030|yy073 "0x" is another Almquist shell script that can search about 63 different servers that return search results, e.g., Google, DDG, and so on.^1 yy___ are UNIX filters written in C. 0x uses some yy proggrams as well, e.g., yy025, along with sed and a TCP client, e.g., tcpclient, netcat, socat, bssl, openssl, etc. yy084 outputs SERPs as SQL.
