Yes? Offering ad space (and placing affiliate links) is how they make money.

Difference to Google is how they position themselves in regards to privacy, and that Google actually built a search engine. Both make their money by providing ad space.

Maybe search with DDG with your ad blocker off? The first 75% of the page was ads for me.
