Nothing Can Stop Google. DuckDuckGo Is Trying Anyway

There's an unusual amount of pro-DDG articles on Hacker News, half of them are PR fluff, and I don't understand why they keep getting upvoted.

And all the pro-Google articles are what?

They are nothing because they don't exist. When was the last time you saw a pro-Google/Alphabet article?

When was the last time Google did something that was worth promoting that wasn't just an attempt to acquire and exploit more personal data?

Because Google Search sucks these days. (To be fair, this is not by any fault of Google themselves. Rather, like any monoculture, Google Search is especially vulnerable to external attacks, such as from SEO's trying to game the system.) If anything, DDG today is a lot closer to the quality Google Search itself used to provide back in the 2000s, before it was SEO-gamed to death.

I mostly agree with you about Google search results, however I think the decreasing quality is more due to political influence and corruption, rather than SEO-games.
