    CEO of Kagi has no boundaries and doesn’t know how to take “no” for an answer. He thinks he can just browbeat other people into agreeing with him. It’s a bad look and makes me have zero trust in Kagi as a product.

    I said elsewhere just a few days ago: These fucking techbros need to realize that sometimes shutting the fuck up and letting your products speak for themselves is the better move than trying to browbeat everyone into acceptance of your view of your products. Prelovac’s insistence on being heard by someone who has no interest in a conversation with him screams entitlement and a controlling attitude. People who can’t take no for an answer generally are not good people. Not being able to accept someone else’s lack of consent and wanting to bully them into consent is a bad fucking look, period.

      When I read your post I was expecting something much worse than what you linked to.

      It wasn’t really all that bad. Imo, it was 1 or 2 emails too many.

      Maybe I’m a little biased because I love the product so much. It’s a fantastic search engine again and all of the AI extras add value and aren’t obnoxious like everyone else’s.

      I am still happily paying for kagi even if the CEO emails people that write shitty blogs about them.

      It feels like this is the only bad thing about kagi that keeps getting shared every time kagi is mentioned. Somehow it feels like one person and their followers trying to promote themselves as Karen’s more than legitimate accusations.

      A CEO getting involved with the end users is not a bad thing imo
