%%excerpt%% Reddit has commenced its assault on search engines, blocking those that don’t have a commercial relationship with the company, like Google.

    When you can’t pay Stardew Valley (because Steam is down) you also can’t play Eldenring. They must use the same backend and Eldenring is just Stardew Valley by another name.

    You’re going to need a better source than “they go down at the same time”.

      You are not getting it. Its a documented fact that duckduckgo uses bing search. You keep coming up with these other poor examples when its acknowledged by duckduckgo that they use bing. Of course they say they are more than bing but in the end that is just hype. This probably wont convince you since you are not looking for answers

      https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/05/bing-outage-shows-just-how-little-competition-google-search-really-has/

      This is because the company uses Microsoft’s Bing to power its search results.

      From this article https://www.cnet.com/tech/services-and-software/duckduckgo-what-to-know-about-google-searchs-privacy-focused-rival/

      https://www.wordstream.com/blog/ws/2019/11/19/who-uses-bing-anyway Look at number 5.

      Of course all these sources could be wrong and its just you who is right. Right?

        You act like this is some secret they keep, they literally tell you on their website that Bing is one of their sources: https://duckduckgo.com/duckduckgo-help-pages/results/sources/

        You’ve exposed nothing. I don’t care how they source it, I care how they deliver it.

          No I don’t I’m just aware. Its not one of their sources it is their source. I frankly don’t understand why you have such a issue with this fact.
          Goodbye.

            I don’t know why you’re arguing with me, I use words from the dictionary so you’re basically just arguing with the dictionary by another name.
