Despite being a free product, free search engines make a lot of money. Kagi’s Why Pay for Search says that, “In 2022 Google generated USD $224.47 Billion dollars from advertisement revenue while processing approximately 8 Billion searches per day. At 365 days per year this amounts to approximately USD $0.07 revenue per search. If an average user searches 5 times per day, assuming a 30 day month this results in Google generating USD $11 revenue per user per month.
This is not a genuine article it is a bot written propaganda piece, full of spelling errors and covertly advertising a product.
It states that Kaji is the best when actually they are clearly the worst, they do record your IP to deliver their services and they do share your data with a notorious 3rd party tracking company- sentry.io.
If you pay them then everything you do on their site is linked directly do you. I.e. zero privacy.
These “articles” from unknown websites such as ioslife are clearly native ads, this one for Kaji.
There is a reason why the other user noticed this website is on malicious blocklists.
Kajis marketing agency has a lot of bots on this platform so it will get upvotes and “users” will chime in with comments on how much they agree with the “article” and provide customer testimonials about how they are also satisfied paying customers but this post is fooling nobody.
Its thinly veiled ad copy, a classic native ad with an ai content generated twist.

Hey could you point me to the blocklist that my domain is currently on? I am not able to find it on any public list. It also would be extremeley surprising to me if it was on a list as this is the first article I have shared with the world.
I didn’t say you were a bot I said the article was written by a bot.
You likely wrote something like this:
Openai: write a short article comparing 3 search engines cite a short paragraph from each engines privacy policy but conclude that Kaji is the most secure in the last paragraph and recommend it. It should be suitable for posting on social media.
You do seem like a marketing agency however as you keep promoting the details of this paid search product in each post reply.
Well now, that would’ve saved me a lot of time and research. I also wouldn’t have learned nearly as much from reading all the different privacy policies. Luckily, I didn’t do that which allowed me to create my own personal recommendations for my family and myself.
I want to reiterate that I have no affiliation with Kagi or any other search engine, I currently don’t even pay for Kagi. I am just a human on the hunt for the best search engine to protect my family’s privacy.
That said, I just saw your update regarding Sentry.
Looking at Kagi’s Privacy Policy, there are two things to say in response to
It states that Kaji is the best when actually they are clearly the worst, they do record your IP to deliver their services and they do share your data with a notorious 3rd party tracking company- sentry.io.
“We do not log or store your IP address. Your IP address is used only temporarily when enriching location/maps searches, and is not shared with any other party.”
“Anonymous logs are shared with Sentry when bugs, crashes, or warnings occur for debugging purposes.”

I didn’t even read OP’s post but…
It’s Kagi not Kaji. If you’re going to criticize something at least get the name right.
Privacy is not anonymity… and it’s a pev of mine that people confuse this.
However, you can get pretty close to anonymity paying them in crypto:

Ever see spelling errors in spam? They do that on purpose.

Bot output can have spelling errors. Example given. Simple as that.

I simply answered that. Bot output can have spelling errors. Nothing more was said or implied.

They pass your data to sentry, a notorious telemetry company. Go read their privacy policy if you want a scare.

TIL I am a bot. :)
I also made it a point not to state anything is the best or the worst and mentioned that the choice is up to you and your threat model.
Also, thanks to @digger@lemmy.ca for pointing out my typos. I have fixed them now.
