Can we please stop this meme? Every thread about DDG invariably seems to bring up this (false) statement.

How is it false? It literally says all traditional links are mostly from Bing: "We also of course have more traditional links in the search results, which we also source from multiple partners, though most commonly from Bing (and none from Google)."

All the other 400 sources and their own crawler are just used for Instant Answers and widgets.

It's the truth. I'm sure representatives of DDG can correct us if this is not the case.

However they have never done so.
