Gaining 700 users "speaks for itself"? All this stats page shows me is how few people actually use Kagi. You'd think it was millions of users based on the way people astroturf it here.
- piva00 4mo agoAstroturf? I believe most of the reports here to be genuine. I'm just a paying user and when web search is debated on HN I share Kagi as a very happy customer. Astroturfing implies that Kagi is paying for people like me to praise them, it's just a good product (for my personal use at least), and I'm glad to recommend it while it stays good.
- oakesm9 4mo agoWhy does it need millions of users to be useful to the individuals which use it? It's not a social media site, so I don't care how many other users they have as long as it's a sustainable business for them to keep providing a service to me.
- TylerE 4mo agoWell, for one thing at these user numbers using it is close to de-anonymizing yourself.
- jeorb 4mo agoI hope it stays small compared to the tech giants. I want Kagi to have enough customers to run a business and earn a profit but not so many that they need to make the product worse to continue growing.
- vitally3643 4mo agoEver consider that people praise Kagi so highly because it's actually good? Then again maybe you're the only correct person on the entire internet and everyone else is shills and crazy people. That definitely sounds more likely.
- justinclift 4mo agoDoesn't "astroturf" mean false statements rather than people just being enthusiastic about something?
