I like Kagi a lot (just look at my comment history), but I'm letting my subscription lapse when it comes time to renew. I've found myself going to Google a lot more often, and I'm finding more and more transparently spammy sites in the Kagin index. Some, for example, are clearly Gen AI created.

If I were a rich man, I would probably keep my subscription just to support a Google competitor. Alas, I'm not, and so I'll be going back to Google.

I see your point. I was not always this well paid.

Did you try blocking the problematic sites and if it didn't work, did you file support requests?

I didn't block them, because they were rarely the same site repeatedly, so I'm not sure it would help.

I didn't on support requests, either, perhaps I should. I have before, and the team did a great job at addressing what wasn't working.

Have you reported any of this to Kagi? (things that are reported usually get fixed)
