That's stupid. Personally I think that Kagi is just a bit too expensive and it feels like they're investing a lot into AI tools, features and external APIs that I have no interest in, which probably contributes to that high price.
If they had a $2-$3/month unlimited search only subscription without all the fluff I'd be game. But currently, using Google et al. with a good ad blocker still works well enough for me that I can't justify paying for yet another service costing almost as much as a Spotify or Netflix subscription each month.
When it came down to it I realised I use search many many many mores times a day than I do Netflix so it became a no brainer for me to use Kagi... it's funny my wife (who laughs at me for paying for search) was looking for a particular recipe yesterday and she was bouncing around Google unable to find exactly what she wanted... I put it into Kagi and it was literally the first item returned. She still laughs at me 🤷🏻♂️
What I will say is Kagi is pretty useless for local searching though, eg looking for a local business, Google is still much better at that but you can Google through Kagi to help protect privacy.
