Not sure if this is the right community, but I didn't see a general one. What search engine do you use? Besides Google increasingly spying on its users, the quality of its search results seems to have gotten significantly worse over the last decade. What search engine(s) do you use?

Excellent write up on it

I am not affiliated with the writer in any way.

This is one person rambling about stuff she's hypothesising

"They didn't pay sales tax for the first couple of years"

Do you even know how small businesses get off the ground in Europe? Possibly by being exempt from taxes until their profits are high enough?

Says their financial information is impossible to find, then starts telling us exactly what that information is

This is the same as people watching a YouTube channel and just assuming it's gospel because they watch that channel a lot smh

It’s enough to put a bad taste in my mouth, it ended up on HN if you want to read some more critical commentary (of kagi and of the blogger)

if you want to read some more critical commentary

What I read was a measured and reasoned reply from one of the founders to a small handful of keyboard warriors 😂

I don't get why "scumbag".

The blogger shitted on his company, and refuse to hear any explanation from the CEO, if anything, I find him very patient.

I read that when it was originally posted and it just comes across as a one-sided account from someone pissed about something, with no actual thought about the situation put into it.
