Meanwhile the DDG founder calmly stating it’s being looked into, is definitely a bug, and explains that this should not generally happen… and being ignored.
Founder says they get info from many sources. Talks about local and factual information, flights, images, videos, etc as important categories while calling normal websites part of legacy web. Fails to mention they get this content from only bing. Tries to explain people are searching for less legacy while people believe they mostly use a search engine for legacy web.
I can't see a bug explanation being anywhere near the truth when every site delisted from bing is automatically delisted in duckduckgo and requires from some action to save it.
How do you explain the other sites?
Because god know a you’re not the only one that’s managed to turn “I don’t know why” into “I’m sure this is what is happening”…
It's not some random unknown blog with zero traffic.

Meanwhile, thanks for illustrating my comment extraordinarily effectively, I guess?
He claims when sites get dropped from bing they are automatically dropped from ddg and require manual efforts to get them up.
There is no process either. You need to connect with someone on the inside. No form, phone number or any reasonable way of contacting them. If you don't share a daycare timeslot with him or can get your submission upvoted here good luck
You’re arguing in bad faith, apparently because you came to a conclusion first & are scrambling to justify it.
Why are you shilling and telling me to look at the comments instead of linking directly to the comment that would address my point?
Just because delistings can happen because of Bing doesn’t mean that’s what happened here.
