yeah but then how do you get organic traffic?
I've been using DDG as my primary search engine now for several years, and using Google no longer "feels like the Web" for me. I imagine I have one hell of a case of observation bias in that, but it does seem like alternatives have been gaining some traction in recent years.
That said, looks like most of the US does not feel the same way about Google. I still see 90-99% of organic traffic coming from Google for my client sites.
