I stopped paying for Kagi a few years ago when they decided to introduce even more AI features than they had at the time. So I now run my own SearXNG instance. Fast, good and no AI in it. Just search results.
That’s very fair, I’m split about this as I hate how pervasive LLMs have gotten. I don’t think the service I want exists, I want to pay for everything and never be served a single ad without feeling like I’m stealing from the service by using an ad blocker.

You know you could just disable all its LLM features? that’s the beauty of kagi
I don’t want my money to go into a company that praises LLMs.
