Also, monetizing the ability to find searches that are not AI slop is, for lack of better phrasing, fucking bullshit.

Literally any free search engine could stop serving searches that are slop - Kagi isn't stopping them.

It's almost like "free" search engines have ulterior motives for how they prioritize search results.

Worth noting that when it was initially launched, it didn't have such an emphasis on AI.

It just so happens that noncommercial small sites tend to be slop-free, and there's a big demand for that, so now that's how they're marketing it.
