DuckDuckGo gains traffic not because it somehow gotten better recently.
Google entered heavy enshittification stage and honestly... it's sad to watch.
google has been in heavy enshittification for going on a decade now.
Honestly you could make the argument that its been on the enshittification slide since they tried to expand out from just being a search engine company.
Sometime around 2018 when they removed "dont be evil" from their company charter.
I honestly can't find anything on google anymore. I barely use it at all, but sometimes someone will hand me their phone, so I'll give it a shot. I always end up switching to ddg before I find what I'm looking for.
There might be a way to use google search these days but its apparently beyond my desire/skills to learn it.
There is a good article about how it happened: The Man Who Killed Google Search by Ed Zitron
