> Kite reads public RSS feeds of thousands of (community-curated) world-wide news sources and distills them into one perfect daily briefing So AI-summarized version of /r/worldnews? I know people love Kagi, but I really don't know how it is better than other news sources except the UI.
> World doesn't live in echo chambers. The reality emerges from the collision of different viewpoints and perspectives - that's how we separate signal from noise To be honest, when people start talking about "echo chambers" it's usually because they are upset that I won't listen to bigoted alt-right hate. For me this term has gained a really negative connotation. I understand the problem but hearing the same tired ra…
For additional context, it's difficult to separate press releases by Kagi from the views of its founder, who has been criticized[0] for partnering with Yandex after Russia invaded Ukraine, and for other statements involving politics and tech[1].

/r/worldnews is not a balanced view and is clearly extremely left-leaning. I imagine Kagi thrives to portray a more balanced view.
>an endless stream of clickbait that destroys our ability to think deeply and clearly. Disagreed. News never changed. It was always exactly like this. The Pulitzer award was created because journalists lied and caused an assassination and the spanish war. The thing that changed is social media is letting everyone fact check the journalists and we're catching them in their lies. We are ushering in a new era of profess…
>News never changed. It was always exactly like this. I'd say the velocity and reach of it certainly has changed. A world leader tweeting fresh insanity to millions of people every couple hours wasn't a thing during earlier eras.
You're describing social media where that's happening. Not journalism or news.
You might argue that social media == news. That's likely true, but that makes journalists the antiquated news.

Is it partnership or do they just simply use yandex as a data-feed among many other sources? It's refreshing to see that the Kagi founder isn't on a political correctness crusade and chooses to focus on product.

In my experience /r/worldnews is extremely right-leaning. The power of echo chambers, huh?

What does waging wars and committing war crimes have to do with political correctness? Please help me understand. Besides, Kagi is heavily politicized, their moto is "humanize the web". Can't really see how one can be for humanizing the web when they have no problems financing regimes that dehumanize actual humans.

There is no such thing as being apolitical. "Just focusing on the product" is implicitly supporting the status quo.

Show me one article that's on the front page of r/worldnews that is right leaning.
