Does Mojeek use Google or Bing to get its results? Or is it separately crawling the web for search results?

From https://www.mojeek.com/about/why-mojeek :

> Is Mojeek just another Bing or Google syndicate?

> No. Mojeek’s web search results are 100% independent. They come from our crawler (MojeekBot) and index of the web, and are ordered using our own ranking algorithms.

My question: how do they expect to make money?

We can run contextual ads, and have API customers: https://www.mojeek.com/services/search/web-search-api/

how does mojeek compare to kagi in general?

Kagi uses the Mojeek API as one of it's main sources.
