    How would kagi help in the bias described in the article? If a person makes a biased search, any search engine will behave the same. The text mentions that even unbiased search engines are susceptible to this.

      I’m a fan of FOSS like everyone else on Lemmy, but I don’t think it’s a universal solution for everything. Some things are worth paying for and I value an efficient search experience and privacy (Kagi has no personal info on me. I pay with a crypto wallet through a third party) so Kagi is a worthwhile service for me.

      I agree with you though, any good search should be good enough to dig up the opinions and bias that is out there somewhere that agrees with your own biases.
