These things seem related. Was it possible to try neeva for free? Even if so, a search engine is something you have to try again and again to become convinced. I try every free search engine I see on HN, but that's not realistic and convincing if I'm not really searching for anything right now.
Since I've heard of marginalia[1], I've been trying it a few times when I was frustrated with google results, and sometimes I got better results. That's how you I learned to appreciate it. But for that it has to be free.

Kagi is fairly recent, something like a year old. I doubt they're astroturfing like you're claiming, they actually have a decent number of users and a good following on HN. You can look at the numbers their previous posts on HN did[0].
Disclaimer: I'm also a happy user.
