Tell HN: DuckDuckGo Search Results have jumped the shark (derp.foo)

Recently I have noticed that when using DuckDuckGo to search, it's returning unrelated 'news' in my results. For example, I just searched < circle.co video calls > and in the first page of results got links related to the war and Speaker votes. This has been happening generally now when I search using DDG. (I'll put a link in the comments to an image)

There is a discussion on Hacker News, but feel free to comment here as well.

I've noticed the same thing. I've had to switch engines.

If anyone finds a good engine, let us know. Tired of ads hiding as websites or only loosely related articles.
