Kagi has good search results and they are presented well. It also has some useful features like forbidding certain sites and prioritizing others. I like that by paying I'm the customer and not the product. And their "small web" initiative is commendable.
That said, I've been a customer for nine months on an annual subscription, and I will not be renewing. The first reason is that I find them just too expensive for what they do. The second is that, even being that expensive, they're not breaking even. That undermines my trust in their future as a search engine and makes me less interested in paying a little extra for a good cause.
huh, I guess starting their own T-shirt business wasn't that great of a move after all
It wasn't even a business, it was just a huge purchase of tshirts for marketing, apparently, right at the beginning of their startup. Like, I have no idea why you would think distributing t-shirts would build your search engine's business, let alone doing it when you're trying to get your technology sorted out and running.
"Hey, neat shirt, what's Kagi?"
"Why, it's a search engine you pay for that searches other search engines and aggregates the results for you!"
"For realz, where has this been all my life?!? Sign me up, my brother!"
