@PhilipKing @kagihq then just use a throwaway email?
You can't expect them to be paid but not have an emailadres to send receipts to....
If you're that concerned about privacy, you should have something like @simplelogin to create aliases for all different services you use.

@thibaultmol @kagihq @simplelogin Throwaway email still might allow a profile to be built and traced. I’m trying to understand why they don’t use a verified trust service to manage payments. That just provides them with a yes/no every time I wanted to search. (It breaks the link and eases concerns about what might happen in the future)

@PhilipKing @thibaultmol Kagi user here: Because there's more features tied to your account.

Two examples:
There's for example 'Search Lenses', which limit searches to certain websites (multiple sites, so more powerful than site:example.com).

There's also a way to hide, lower, raise & pin websites in search results. This also requires your account.

Having a separate trust service for the payment part, would still require an account in these cases.

@thomastospace @thibaultmol That’s all well and good but I can’t choose not to have an account.
