And people trust XYZ website because? Okay, whatever reasons you have, I deny. They want money, and they'll take it as it comes like anyone else. Quit being a sap.

But in any case it's really creepy how every time this website is mentioned its whole marketing department seems to show up. "I use DDG exclusively now..." Good for you.

I know why you're being downvoted, I am sure it's a pure conicidence this website is being shilled very hard in Reddit and HN over the past 24 hours :D

That's an astute observation. Can you add a link?

Hah, I posted this because I saw it on Reddit and realized nobody had posted it on HN yet. I wish I was getting paid to shill companies, that would be fantastic!

It was developed in the open, with regular updates here. Probably many here feel part of it somehow, and trust Weinberg because of that virtual relationship.

Of course one doesn't know, Weinberg might secretly be one of the lizard people, co-opted by a TLA to covertly monitor search ... probably in order to quash evidence of alien sightings.

Joking aside, you're right to be skeptical.
