Google could loose 70k active users and it wouldn’t even register as a blip. They have like 50,000-60,000 TIMES as many active users.

I’m one of those 70k people and support Kagi, and I also strongly believe in companies succeeding and sustaining themselves on a small scale like this. I think our economy would be healthier if it was made of many, many small companies, not a few massive ones.

But we can’t argue Kagi is anything more than a super niche product, for now. :(

Typically the reason for there being so few smaller companies is paradoxically that small companies exist to be gobbled up by the big ones.

A company can be successful without dominating the world.
