The severe decline in quality? I've been using DDG for a while now; in about 2 years I've looked at Google results maybe 5 times and was disappointed every time. If you think Google is the best you can get right now you're missing out.
Your argument is based on the assumption that a company with more experience cannot possibly be bested at what they're doing.
> google could implement site muting in an instant if they wanted
Google could do a lot of great things, but unused potential is worthless. Remember how Google got big precisely because they did what competitors could do but didn't?
