Not because DDG got better, but just because google got worse.

google is still better for site-specific searches, and google scholar still has minimal AI slop

I generally don't see ads due to uBlock Origin. Or am I just not noticing them? Lol.

I'm talking about the results as ads(paid for result ranking). Not as much a thing in DDG but google, they're awful and you get maybe 2 results a page that aren't paid promotion.

Freya Holmer did a good video on AI/SEO i think touches a little on this...
