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

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
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.
