Lately, I've been more and more disappointed with Kagi. It seems to be falling victim to the same SEO spam. For example, today I was wondering what Scala devs use as alternative to Akka. I searched for "scala akka alternative". Try the same (using Kagi). I get mostly listicles and SEO spam. I have to scroll halfway down the page to see links to "Pekko" and "Zio"... and they are hard to separate from the noise. This is just my most recent example... it just "feels" like this happens a lot more, even with Kagi now.
However, the reason I started paying for Kagi was because they let me completely block websites from search results -- and they still let me do that. That feature alone will keep me as a paying customer for the near term.
If the goal of that site really is just to capture clicks via very specific web searches... and people are creating sites like that at scale... what hope do we have of saving the web? :-(
