Sure, but what happens with your information after that is also very important. What's for me very concerning after reading the article is not a T-Shirt factory or burning budget, but the their attitude towards privacy.

For my part, I trust that they aren't logging my searches and I don't put any sensitive information into the fields that are persistent. If someone eventually buys Kagi then they'll be able to learn that I block Pinterest and boost MDN, which is way less information than Google collects and stores about me, and it's information I'm happy to divulge to get the service I want.

    I did trust that, before reading this article. The founder's attitude toward privacy -- based on what he's said in the Discord -- worries me, and some of that trust has been eroded.

Yeah most of the stuff like AI doesn't concern me. It's a good product so I pay for it.

Personally I think the t-shirts look great and I'd love one.

The only thing that concerned me in that article was the disregard and / or misunderstanding of GDPR.
