  • TLDR:

    • Spent a third of their initial funding on buying a small clothing factory to give away free shirts to the first 20k subscribers (Noble act from them imo, but financially irresponsible to buy a factory for this)
    • Didn’t pay taxes in the first 2 years (Apparently under 1000 users they don’t need to do taxes or sm and haven’t expected 20k users)
    • CEO (Vlad) thinks AI can give you unbiased reviews
    • Author finds AI tools bullshit and Kagi is doing and planning a lot of AI related stuffs
    • CEO is very opinionated and thinks that difference in opinions are “misunderstandings”
    • CEO personally writes emails to unsubscribed people about why they have left
    • Doesn’t have GDPR cause CEO thinks email isn’t a personally identifiable information

    Probably I have forgot some stuff, but this is the gist of it for me.


  • It is definitely miles ahead in finding genuine content, but paying 10 usd for unlimited or 5 usd for 300 searches is too much for my wallet. I’m hoping if they get enough users then maybe they can introduce another price lowering attempt or pray that I can opt into a family plan with friends.
