They do stand by it: https://kagifeedback.org/d/5445-reconsider-yandex-integratio...

Removing a previously public list of sources after being pressed on their integration with Yandex gives me a different impression.

I’d assumed that stopping my subscription didn’t achieve anything.

Presumably enough have that it hurts a little.

Or they just don’t want to deal with the bad faith actors with overly amplified internet voices cherrypicking Kagi as the next innocent product to torpedo because they aren’t virtuous enough. You can’t win against crazy people in a mob.

That’s an interesting take.

Another view is that they are losing customers due to this, and have chosen to make the information harder to find.

For company that believes in accurate data above all else, its not a great look.
