The real difference is market dominance. If Kagi was the dominant search engine used by 90% of all users, they could enshittify while still collecting subscription, and while that would lose them some users, it would still be profitable when everything is added up. It's even worse for niches where there's some way to lock people in. E.g. look at streaming providers - everyone has either rolled out ads on paid plans or is planning to do so. Why? Because if you happen to have X as an exclusive in your catalog, then people who want to see X either have to suck it up or else figure out how to pirate it without getting caught. |
