The user growth has been bigger than usual in the last months, they have live stats. Not to say they were breaking even at around 25k users, they now have 38k.
Also their product shouldn't be interesting, should be invisible. It's a search engine, not a toy.
If you really want to see malice, I would say it's more of a marketing move because very very few users will not make any search at all in a month. And those users have indeed no cost for them. Giving them credit still means you are getting the money eventually.

Sorry, I use a search engine about 300 times a month at minimum. I'm not what you'd consider a power user right now. I agree it shouldn't be interesting, but it should but used at least. How many figures are you earning?

Downvoted so I can have a six-to-eight figure salary at Kagi!

This is a really big question! Let's wait patiently for them to answer it.

Kagi is rolling this out to people who never use their service. So that would be equivalent to you paying your mobile provider and never making a phone call or text for an entire month.

They specifically avoid sanctions by routing payments through Kazakhstan, and tried to claim Yandex wasn't even a russian company when called out.
And no, the US is not the same. You might not have hosted Ukrainian refugees or be in full understanding of what's happening there but any money going into Russia is right now used for torture, rape and killing of Ukrainians.
I had a Kagi family subscription and immediately cancelled when I learnt about Vlad's "it's just some geopolitical opinions" stance. I also know others have done the same.
