    That’s not what the data said back in March. I highly doubt it’s gotten better.

        Maybe I just am using it wrong, but DDG consistently gives me completely irrelevant results, while Google still gives me what I’m looking for about 70% of the time. Maybe I just need to learn the proper way to search with DDG but so far it’s been next to useless in finding me relevant info.

    Search clicks were dead already from 19 out of the top 20 results being AI generated SEO garbage pages and “articles” that contains information that is blatantly false and even contradictory. AI just gives you that same garbage right there without having to click anything. The real info is probably buried somewhere two search pages down.
