“Yandex represents about 2% of our total costs and is only one of dozens of sources we use”

OP in the linked thread wanted to boycott Russia and Russian businesses. The “context” is that Kagi gives money to Yandex.

Ouch:

"The moment 'politics' becomes a factor in search results is the moment I stop working on a search engine."

I'm having a very hard time equating what's happening in Ukraine to "politics", as if we're talking about the next election or something...

"Yandex represents about 2% of our total costs and is only one of dozens of sources we use."

So it should be easy to cut then. It's literally an argument for removing it, not for keeping it. God.
