The difference between the revenue from Bing Ads they show and the money they have to pay Bing for their search API.
- sct202 6y agoI'm surprised they didn't mention it at all on the page. It's definitely mentioned on other pages about how to get your ads to show up on DDG.
- x32n23nr 6y agoI'm not. Being a re-seller of search and ads is not an impressive narrative for a company that sells the illusion of a search alternative. DDG adds value in the privacy realm, and I'd rather have it exist than not, but its continued existence depends on the continued will of a search api provider to sell and in the western world there's basically only 2 in that game: Google and Bing.
