Why are there so many paying Kagi customers who feel the to write multiple paragraphs of testimonies? This is so unusual of HN.

Reeks of astroturfing.

Because a massive share of the kagi users are part of the hn-adjecent crowd. When you look at the most manually upranked domains, you'll probably get a clearer picture. https://imgur.com/a/1Ed23d6

The typical kagi user uses hn. In the past, hn was even further up, though I guess they're slowly getting "normal" people too.
