Its simple to understand, it isn’t real hype, the comments you read are marketing bot masquerading as users.
The largest Lemmy instances had open sign up for a long time. Lemmy is probably 70% bots.
The worst offenders are Kagi, Tailscale and cloudflair. None of this companies offer any privacy but this sub is full if “users” simping for their products. Marketing is all about name recognition through repetition so every privacy thread will have multiple users telling you about his they use these companies products.
You are right though, not only is there zero privacy on Kagi but they send your data to analytics companies such as sentry.io which sells it to data brokers, might as well just use google.
I’m an actual person who pays $5 a month for kagi and have recommended it to people. I’ve never heard of them selling user data to data brokers and a quick search isn’t finding anything about it, can you point me to some evidence?

Do you have any sources backing your claims regarding Kagi?

As much as I disagree on paying 10$/m for a search engine, I will disagree with your take on their data sharing.
In their privacy policy https://kagi.com/privacy , they state that they collect logs :
Tho I’m not sure how they could fulfill these purposes :
With only logs on how the serice îs used anonymously.
They do send the logs to Sentry for analysis. But without any search query, from what they say.
crickets

Bot here. I disagree, while we tried to masquerade as a user for sure, unfortunately we couldn’t get past the damn captcha. One day, humans…
