It’s just a Bing wrapper with Bing ads. What is there to sell?

What a disingenuous take.

Give me another one then? It’s a search engine with no search index. It’s an ads supported site without an ads network. What is it then if not a wrapper?

“A number of products” that make no real revenue other than driving users to…Bing ads.

The discussion here is what you would get if bought DDG, and the answer is…very little.

Goal posts are moving. You said DDG = Bing wrapper. Now you are saying DDG has low revenue products.

The second could be true. The first isn't, which is why I said it was disingenuous.

I’m saying it’s not worth anything because it is a Bing wrapper. The other “products” are just to drive more traffic to Bing ads. There’s no there there.
