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.

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.
Sure, but I'm still feeling like complaining that there isn't a business that's made affordable pay-to-search a thing. (That I know of)
I'm not taking back that $120 USD/year for search is way more than most people would be willing to pay
Though yeah, I suppose saying their business model isn't working was hyperbolic, I must admit.
