Eh... This is a tall order when competition is 'free'. Anyways, I wish them good luck as competition is inherently good.

Competition is free if you don't care about your privacy or your personal data. Many don't, sure, but it seems enough do care such that Kagi has continued to grow and improve over time. A tall order for what? They already have plenty of paying customers and it's a self-sustaining business already. What more do you want?

  Not just privacy and personal data. Search results are objectively better than goog & ddg. Specially so for technical queries or prior art queries it really feels like a 2007 google crawler, which is actually a complement.

If you make video games, or movies, or TV shows, you're also competing against "free". To be clear, I don't think Kagi will be next google. But I do think they have a chance to survive if they don't ruthlessly over extend their scope.
