    You said “if your product is not interesting enough for users to use”.

    The product has to be useful, and the user growth for a obviously premium service I think is a good testimony of that.

    Have you considered that they might be a healthy business that doesn’t bleed money (like most tech companies) and therefore doesn’t need to rely on trapping users in subscriptions hoping they won’t use the product?

    Also what’s with the passive aggressive tone? We are talking about a search engine, chill.

      I’m fine. I feel like I’m arguing with a secret Kagi operative here.

      I haven’t considered that they might be a healthy business but you seem to know a lot more than I do about it…

      Please, keep sharing what you don’t know about Kagi

        I am repeating data points they shared during the community event.

        BTW buddy, you can cool it with the passive-aggressiveness. Not everyone on the internet is out to get you.

        The info about them breaking even at 25k was shared in the discord channel (which I very rarely look). The rest are stats that are published on their website and as I said shared during the yearly community event.

        I work in tech, and I would be blind to not acknowledge that a company which:

        • is profitable/breaks even after few years of operation
        • does that with 25k users
        • doesn’t have a marketing budget (used to, now they might have a ridiculously small one).

        Might be a healthy business, different from 99% of tech companies that generally bleed money even with millions of users.

        You seem completely sure of the opposite, whatever, don’t use their service lol

          Kind cool to see a profitable company like that. I worked on a place that for years was burning millions of dollars every month in hopes of eventually making it work out 😄
