- sapphicsnail 8mo agoHow so?
- simonklitj 8mo agoDamn, how so?
- microtonal 8mo agoA small percentage goes to Yandex because they use Yandex as an index: https://kagifeedback.org/d/5445-reconsider-yandex-integration-due-to-the-geopolitical-status-quo/19 https://kagifeedback.org/d/5445-reconsider-yandex-integratio...
- simonklitj 8mo agoThanks for this! That’s incredibly disappointing.
- distances 8mo agoThanks, I'll keep from recommending Kagi in the future.
- BlobberSnobber 8mo agoEven worse: it funds the White House’s regime more, by a large margin
- master-lincoln 8mo agoYou make it sound like a significant amount is going to Kreml but I assume the API cost for using Yandex from Kagi is neglectable and only a fraction of that goes to the Russian government. Isn't this more of a symbolic thing to request not cooperating with Russian companies?
- bilekas 8mo agoFor some people it doesn’t matter how negligible. And it’s better to know and make up their own mind.
- mrWiz 8mo agoI think that "it's better to know" only really holds up if the scope / context is also included. To put it in concrete terms, I'd amend your statement like this: Kagi indirectly funds the Kremlin's regime by paying for Yandex API access.
