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.

I can say that I’m a 10x dev since I use Kagi because it gives me good results most of the time at work. And when I accidentally switch back to other engines, I’m always disappointed.

But the truth is that subscribers are happy because it’s the only decent alternative out there. Google/DDG/Bing all suck. SearX may be good and free but I haven’t tried it yet.
