I apologize if this is old news, but I just noticed it. It looks like Kagi has added Fediverse Forums as a default Web search option.

The business model just doesn't make sense then (using search partners).

Because $60, let alone $120 US, a year is far more than most people would be willing to pay.

Dunno what to say, it's just more than most people can justify paying for the service.

I'm gonna stick with DuckDuckGo and the newly free mullvad cached search

I mean, the business model works? They make money, they pay staff, and they are growing.

I don't know what you're talking about, people have price sensitivity of course. You are projecting yours onto "everyone", is it not a successful business?

There's a niche they cater to, if you are not that niche then you are not that niche. Doesn't mean the niche doesn't exist.
