There is but one truly serious question in modern media, and it is whether the ad loaded. All the rest, war, famine, the fate of nations, comes after.

We built a search engine funded by its users, so nothing has to sit above the results.

Updated my pet project: GreatCountry.org. As far as I know it's the largest independent study ranking countries on factors that don't correlate with each other. Includes loneliness, generosity, working hours, asylum applications, biodiversity, food self-sufficiency, Olympic medals per capita and 30 other data sources.

👋 The web doesn't need a smarter ad machine. It needs search that is paid for by the user it serves. That is Kagi. And our Search API is launching soon, so the same principle and highest quality results are available to builders too. techcrunch.com/2026/05/19/go…

A more positive post this week! I was happy to run across @KagiHQ, which not only offers a paid search engine free of ads and bias, but also runs an initiative to improve visiblity of small and independent websites. mattcasmith.net/2026/04/12/k…

Kagi – a paid search engine that supports the small web | MattCASmith

Someone made a Kagi memecoin. We built a LinkedIn translator and accidentally became a crypto project. 2026 is wild.

I appreciate the love but I don't mess with things I don't understand. The best way to support Kagi long term is to become a customer and spread the word. You can pay for it in crypto too. 🙏
