Tldr for those not wanting to watch a video please
It’s 1y old video. TLDR DuckDuckGo partnered with Microsoft and blocks everyone else but Microsoft ads/trackers.
And they were able to change things and get Microsoft blocked as well

@TurnItOff_OnAgain @citizen some people are just stuck in time.
Thanks for the link. So it was the app and extension not the search engine.
More like a one year old post thats getting recommended to people for some reason
Exactly, I’m not sure why old posts are being pushed to the front for so many users but this is very old post and some very old news.
DuckDuckGo claims to have fixed this tracking issue with Microsoft a long time ago now.
Lemmy's Hot sort algorithm still needs some fine tuning, is what I've heard. Honestly, I feel good getting some engagement going on a post someone submitted to have a discussion and just got left out in a field to die.
