I am a customer and I learned about Kagi here. I assume many people are on the same boat, so I wouldn't be so sure about that.

FWIW I'm a customer and had never read about it on HN until this post. I learned about it from a private Discord programmer community.

Perhaps I should have said "target customers" where I said "customers", I don't know. But it should not be surprising that "being an HN user" correlates strongly with "finds out about things on HN".

Kagi does zero advertising, only word of mouth (or from social news sites).

I would strongly bet their primary source of customers came via a HN referral.

We are literally their Target Customers.
