Kagi has quickly grown into something of a household name within tech circles. From Hacker News and Lobsters to Reddit, the search provider seems to attract near-universal praise. Whenever the topic of search engines comes up, there’s an almost ritual rush to be the first to recommend Kagi, often followed by a chorus of replies echoing the endorsement.

This link details a saga where a lone blogger discussed their concerns and issues with Kagi only for the post to blow up and ends with Kagi's CEO harassing the blogger like a fucking "debate me" chud.

Read the whole thing, read the email thread between lori and Vlad and come to your own conclusions. But just to me Vlad comes off as abrasive, harassive and wanting to shove his opinions down other people's throats as if they were gospel.
