Kagi AstroTurfing needs to stop.... Fuck off.
SearxNG. FOSS, selfhostable. Don't pay for a search engine.
Unfortunately it piggybacks of googles and co's indexing. What happens if we succeed as a FOSS movement and google goes under?
People genuinely like Kagi. I dont really see the problem
I doubt 1% of the comments are genuine users and not themselves botting/faking comments just to inject advertising.
I recommend Kagi at every opportunity, but am sometimes afraid of people assuming its astroturfing like this and not my real opinion.
Thats just downright conspiratorial
