For a while now, I have been wondering what it is that a small search provider like Kagi can do to have such an advantage over the R&D behemoth Google, measured in terms of blocking garbage results. This is eye-opening:

>And to rub salt into the wound, it was discovered that Google is paying some media companies “five figures” to use their AI to automatically scrape content from other publishers’ work (who have paid expert humans to produce) and publish it as news twice a day on their websites.

For every one thing you hear about, there are nine you don't. Apparently, the difference in quality is about what Kagi is not doing.
