yeah, I don't get it either. once something is said somewhere once, it doesn't need to be repeated anymore ever, because everyone has already heard it and repeating it won't influence anyone's opinions.

The process from here involves setting up a business entity in Germany, so we can import the t-shirts, store them in a warehouse, connect inventory logistics and ship them all over the world. This includes building a website and connecting it to a back-end database. So, we basically ended up owning a merch production operation end-to-end, just so that we could ensure premium quality of these t-shirts!

like... why

You specifically stated that "They deleted the fact that they are a metasearch engine".

I specifically didn't.

The page you linked clearly explains that they use other search engine sources

it doesn't specify which ones, though.

Our search results also include anonymized API calls to:

  • all major search result providers worldwide, [such as?]
  • specialized search engines like Marginalia,
  • and sources of vertical information such as Wolfram Alpha, Apple, Wikipedia, Open Meteo, Yelp, TripAdvisor, and other APIs

they are fairly upfront about honestly.

as long as you don't really want to know which search engines they use https://kagifeedback.org/d/5185-more-detailed-information-about-search-sources

SearXNG generates a URL that contains all the preferences you've set, so it's a matter of copying it and setting it as a default search engine on another device.

even being that expensive, they're not breaking even

huh, I guess starting their own T-shirt business wasn't that great of a move after all
