DAE feel like DuckDuckGo is now just as good as google for the vast majority of searches? (lemmy.ml)

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...
