So you pay Kagi money to de-enshittify Google as Kagi is a meta searcher. That model can only work temporarily. If the userbase becomes uncomfortably big, Google and the likes will simply cut them off. Kagi must know this. So my take is they use your money to build their own indexers to at some point not need the likes of Google. And do this without using VC money as a safeguard against future enshittification. This is why the price is what it is. I wouldn’t be surprised that when they are done and decoupled from Google Apple will buy them and make it part of their services offerings.
