Does anyone still think their data isn't being sold even if they pay for a service? Plus now it's associated to your payment information. These are the same guys that spent all their runway funding on Tshirts, I don't think they're the sharpest knives in the drawer.

Baseless.

Very possible they're too small to have a meaningful contingent of buyers. But I wouldn't bank on it.

Apparently we're in the minority. Everyone here is sure it's all aboveboard and shipshape.

You can use privacy pass and pay in crypto

[-] ikidd@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

I'm not fathoming what Privacy Pass gains you, it's tokens generated from your account, the chain of possession is obvious throughout. The tokens get used up and removed from your account and the logged-in browser extension generates more, but there's no "privacy" involved there.

Fair enough on the crypto.

The tokens can't be traced to the account and are batch generated so you can't be deanonymized by correlation. They aren't stored in the account, but locally, in fact Kagi can (and they say they will) just sell the tokens directly, as they aren't linked at all to an account
