    Ddg:

    Ran https://voteyesornoai.com/ Where of 175k people, 90% said No AI

    Offers noai.duckduckgo.com, presumably to cater to this 90% who don’t want it.

    Has AI first features in main product. Does not advertise noai much.

    So…

    1. It’s primary product goes against it’s market research
    2. It’s pushing AI, not promoting the alternative
    3. People keep promoting ddg for (2) despite (1)

    Just seems weird.

      Additionally, people told me that DDG is in bed with Microsoft. If that’s true, I guess Ecosia is hopefully better.
