A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

This whole thread reads like astroturfers

If you really don’t believe me, check out search.dsemy.com - my Searx instance which I stopped using because of Kagi.
Edit: I realize now you didn't reply to me, I came back to the after seeing people downvoting my (honest) comment in this thread and your comment kinda pissed me off so I just wrote a response quickly.
When we're talking about the issues of search engines, and a whole bunch of people come in and "organically" promote a paid service, then my astroturfing detection rises up. This is how modern advertisement works and it fucking sucks.
I haven't used kagi, but the service being paid is not the red flag you think it is, as long as the privacy policy and ToS make sense.
