TL;DR; “AI bad, they made some t-shirts, and the owner says some stupid crap sometimes.” 🙄

As long as the results remain the best and they don’t screw me over, I’m happy to keep paying for them.

But lets be honest, even Duck Duck Go is better than Google these days. It’s fine if folks don’t want to pay for search, but you’ll have a better experience avoiding Google, either way.

I hate to say it, because I love their privacy policy, but it we're being honest, it's not. DDG mostly uses Bing, and I struggle to find what I'm after on that engine. I have better results with Brave search, who now run their own index (but their tech bro CEO leaves me nervous at every turn)
