It's wild that they are not breaking even with these prices. I've had an annual subscription since January and made nearly 5000 searches. Extrapolating to a year, I will have been paying about $0.17 per search. If that would go to the electricity bill then it corresponds to about 1 kWh of energy per search, enough to run a 50-watt laptop PC for 20 hours.
they got very defensive about disclosing their search sources ever since the Brave thing, lol https://kagifeedback.org/d/5185-more-detailed-information-about-search-sources
My question was about benefits of openai search compared to kagi search. How is this link related to my question?
The linked post goes into detail about why the author views Kagi as not privacy oriented, and that in the author's opinion Kagi is overly focused on AI. (And was originally started as an AI company)
And that is very strange for me. Under the news about AI-search from OpenAI I asked about comparison with AI-search from Kagi, but got a lot of downvotes and a link to the post where the author express his negative opinion about AI.
I think it would have helped for the person who posted that to include context, but I would guess they were linking because it also talks about how Kagi isn't privacy focused.
