Make a search on Bing, then make a search on DuckDcukGo. Compare the results. You’ll find out that DuckDcukGo is just a front end for another site that provides links to business affiliates.
Comment on Google Search is getting even worse for independent sites

I’ve been using Kagi for a few months and I’m liking it so far.

yeah I tried it and it was incredibly lacking. Any advice on alternatives?
Plopp@lemmy.world 6 months ago
I sadly have none. I suffer with DDG and Google and my life is hell.

Same bro, same, for simple shit I usually end up using Perplexity to avoid the garbage articles.

I’ve been using kagi for a couple months and it’s great. The AI shit is pretty prominent, but optional, so your experience will vary depending on your tolerance for that stuff. Also it’s not free lol.
For my purposes I find it worth the money

Seems like a combination of building a proper webring and then setting YaCY loose on it is probably the path forward.
