Just a couple of weeks ago, and this is a perfect moment to share, a colleague told me how he wanted to reschedule a flight and in a hurry clicked on one of the first Google provided links (ads) and got redirected to a scam site which was identical to the one his airline uses. In the end, he had to suspend his credit card and lost money. He lost more than any of the Kagi billing plans would cost him. But you are right, ppl tend to justify their choices more, especially when they paid for them ;) Still, no harm knowing there is a good alternative out there I guess.

This is a nonsense comparison as the Kagi fee is guaranteed while the loss from a scam is not.

Google, Instagram and Facebook are so infested with scam ads that protecting yourself against those platforms is necessary. How is it possible that there is no lawsuit against all the rampant scam ads on these platforms? Alphabet's and Meta's main source of income in 2023 is blatant crimes.
