The whole internet loves Kagi, a lovely paid search engine that can find things! 5 seconds later We regret to inform you the CEO is an unhinged narcissist who will harangue you in email (hackers.town)

Isn't the DDG guy an asshole as well though?

But you don't pay him.

He's not getting paid?

What I'm saying is that for Kagi you have to pay a direct subscription. DDG you can just use for free.

What I'm saying is that free things arent really free.
