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)

Yeah I had a weirdass email exchange with that same guy that pushed me away from Kagi forever. It was one of those "borderline technically honest but still blatantly dodging and obfuscating" type situations.

I shared a screenshot once, but got nothing but defense for the guys dodgy behavior, so I've been quiet about it, so this feels pretty validating that my gut feelings were right.

I think a lot of people get cultish about it because they're paying a subscription for it, so they have to believe it's good.

    this thread has been an excellent honeypot for some of the worst people on Lemmy, and TechTakes definitely needed some cleaning up now that our threads keep hitting all

    it’s very funny to see how those posters react to the idea that their fucking garbage takes in defense of an asshole CEO aren’t welcome here, and that we have a minimum standard they just aren’t meeting. there’s this weird concept in a lot of folks’ heads from shareholder-oriented social media like Reddit that every community is for them and has to suffer their garbage, but that thankfully isn’t the case here.
