weird, I've never heard of mojeek before and this is the 2nd comment in this thread I've seen mentioning it.

As of the time of writing there are 8 search matches in this thread: 1 from you, the rest from Colin (CEO of said company).

Spam is fine by me if it's from the CEOs personal account, lol. Clearly I wasn't familiar with the product so it's a helpful comment for me

> the rest from Colin (CEO of said company)

I assumed he had financial connection to them, but didn't want to take the time to research it. Mojeek is the new fetch.

From the second paragraph of the article:

> Searching for Reddit still works on Kagi, an independent, paid search engine that buys part of its search index from Google.

thanks i only read the first paragraph. then i went to kagi discord and they provided more context

Kagi gets part of their index from Google, per the article, so perhaps that's the reason Kagi still works. Wonder if Vlad and Kagi will do (or have done) the calculus to see if buying crawlability from Reddit itself is cheaper than buying results from Google for Reddit search.

Not yet but it's something we want to look into.

Kagi pays to use APIs from Mojeek and Google
