I’d be much more at ease with their long term prospects if they begun the process of transitioning to a cooperative or steward-ownership, so that they’re less at risk of CEO-capture.

I mean I'm fine with them as they are now, corporate-structure-wise. What happens if Kagi starts to suck? I stop paying for it and move on with my life, so rather than worrying about what could happen, I'll just enjoy it for what it is now. If nothing else, Google taught me that just because something is great today doesn't mean it will necessarily be great tomorrow. I can't get attached.

  Maybe what you really want is a consumer cooperative. A business collectively owned by it's users.

    You are describing normal public shareholding. Soon those users will stop caring about the product that they use, but rather about the value of the underlying share/s.

    No. I don’t care what their corporate structure is. I just don’t get attached.

    A cooperative will not solve the problem of a company eventually making a decision that some group of users will not like. There exists exactly 0 business structures that can solve the problem of 100.00% of a userbase being completely satisfied with all decision-making.
