Advertising (MS Bing + Yahoo) and affiliate-linking (Amazon): https://duck.co/help/company/advertising-and-affiliates

I hope DDG becomes smarter with AI-assisted searching, eg. by doing semantic sentence encoded searching, like Google Books showed a while back: https://books.google.com/talktobooks/query?q=best%20search%2...
