'Kagi Small Web' aims to build a small but high quality grassroots web.



The rapidly growing Internet has become so huge that it is said that

half of the world's people were connected to the Internet as of 2018, but the large-scale advertising-based networks controlled by major Internet companies are The expansion has also brought about various problems, such as invasion of privacy and mass production of low-quality content automatically generated by AI. In order to go against these trends, 'Kagi Small Web' was launched on September 7, 2023, with the aim of building a carefully selected and meaningful web.

The term 'small web' has many meanings, but Kagi defines it as 'the non-commercial aspect of the web, created by individuals for the purpose of self-expression and knowledge sharing without seeking financial gain.' He explained that he decided to introduce Kagi Small Web as part of his efforts to humanize the web.

Designed based on small web philosophy, Kagi Small Web includes feeds that are carefully selected according to the following criteria:
・If you have a blog, you must have been posting for at least 3 years.
・It must be written in English. The reason for this is that it is difficult to be selective in languages other than English.
- A site that provides true self-expression and high information value.
・Do not include content that is not suitable for viewing in public places such as the workplace (NSFW: Not Safe For Work), such as pornography.
