There’s a huge gap in the market for just decent quality dumb web search right now.
The problem is filtering out the garbage from the results.

I use Kagi specifically because Google and DDG were too infested with AI garbage. There is no escaping it. I get less generated slop, but I still get plenty.

I’ll never forget the Kagi CEO tracking down a random blogger so he could “explain to her how she was wrong about Kagi” and harassed her for a phone conversation, and when she politely declined several times over, he just said fuck it and sent his arguments as a follow-up email because like hell was he going to take no for an answer.
I don’t trust any company from some psycho abusive asshole who thinks he needs to do that kind of shit to prove his product. Half stalking half harassment for someone merely expressing their opinion.

Kagi was criticized for partnering with Brave as well. Vladimir Prelovac’s (CEO of Kagi) response adopts the flawed rhetoric that tech can ignore the social consequences of their actions and call this “neutrality”, as if this is a morally acceptable cop out.
So yeah, fuck Kagi.

Prob because nerdy tech people use it and lemmy is comprised of a lot of nerdy tech people.

And besides… aren’t AI features getting pushed in Kagi heavily?
Weird idea to use it as an argument against Google and DDG, but conveniently ignore it for Kagi.

On top of all that, the last time I checked, search results were 100% identical between Kagi and Google. It’s snake oil.

I don’t think you need permission to send someone an email directly addressed to and written for them. I don’t have context for the claims about Kagi being disputed, but I’d be frustrated if someone posted a misinformed rant about my work and then refused to talk to me about it. I might even write an email. Doesn’t sound crazy.
