Before someone chimes in, yes I understand the humanitarian perspective. That's not my point. My point is that DDG is not neutral, and is politically biased.
Ultimately what I'm getting at is: There's no market for DDG. Use Google for biased searches, and use other search engines that are not biased(which excludes DDG) for unbiased searches.
What are the use cases for DDG?
Maybe i was only the few that cared more about the filter bubble angle and less the "we're selling bottled privacy™" angle [1] and am not interested now that `yegg` has clearly reneged upon the former

It's not to me, when was the last time you used it? I haven't used Google in around 4 years now and I'm getting on just fine, majority of searches answered on first page.
If anything I now toggle between Duckduck and Ecosia as Ecosia still isn't 100% up to scratch (frequent 500 errors, slow, results are bad) but I like the idea of my searches planting trees.
When I want unbiased searches I've been using Kagi but more are popping up. they approach search differently so it's useful when google feels to "sanitized" for certain searches
