The Enshittification continues. Slightly better than Google because you can at least turn it off, but still on by default! Turn that shit off if you use DDG!

NO ONE FUCKING ASKED FOR ANY OF THIS SHIT

It was never for you, the user. Like any advertising company, DuckDuckGo wants to reduce the cost of predicting what products its user will buy, which, at this point, means harvesting your thoughts and asking an AI model what you will buy, even if you’ve already left.

That rate of profit do be declining. I forget what pod was talking about it, but they were saying that tech execs think this will be what returns them to the good old days of high profits.

It is very cool that we are not only using a lot more energy to fuel this shit, but also that entire energy networks are being overloaded to do it.

Look forward to rolling brownouts in order to keep faulty search results and terrible images coming.

Unironically, I’ve been getting better search results from Yandex since this AI dogshit started picking up steam. I’m contemplating switching over full time.

It’s good for finding shit that does not appear on Google at all, but it also finds other super weird shit too. To be fair, google also shows me weird religious websites and state department propaganda journal articles seemingly at random on unrelated results.

I see a lot more crank shit with Yandex while DDG is almost entirely Western MSM.
