Because unless my salary increases by more than $120 as a direct result of using Kagi, it’s not a good use of my money. It’s the same reason I don’t pay for nicer chairs in my office.

If a better search engine makes employees more productive, the target customer is the business, not the employee.

I'd wager Kagi has a lot of benefit in learning and finding solutions to issues where you don't know the correct terminology AND in tech where a lot of non-tech content is available (f.e. analytics)

With chairs it's also less of a benefit in regards to productivity but health and comfort. I'm also still rocking a 150€ chair from IKEA, totally viable and comfortable, but I do see the benefit in a chair that has a lot of configuration options because I am slightly too large for mine. Still means one needs to know how to configure it properly (which is 90% of the health change)

Hard to quantify comfortability since it really indirectly affects mentality.

Then again, I'm not really using search a lot when working so Kagi is obviously also nothing for me
