    I see so many of these comments I can’t help but wonder if it’s an ad campaign by Kagi.

      Pretty sure it is, I ended up trying the free trial because of all the yapping. Don’t bother. 99% of the results are the same as ddg.

        +1 for ddg, it does everything needed from a search engine without the extra crap, and even if you don’t turn off ads, they’re reasonable and unobtrusive (and they let you turn them off very easily)

      It very likely is an Astroturfing campaign to try and get more users.

          Lemmy is a poor choice for astroturfing, not because of small user count but because no one here is going to hesitate from removing their content or banning them from the site. On regular social media you can act like a shill and get downvoted and hated on, but here the punishments are actually handed out, and even if their home instance doesn’t ban them others likely will, effectively crippling said campaign.

          These campaigns work on social media services that will protect them due to corporate interest, something that basically doesn’t happen here.
