Let's put this in context: 2B searches/month is <1000 QPS. That's not a business. That's a single server side project. And this is after 10 eyars? So cue the usual HN DDG responses of "I switched to DDG and it's fine", "I used DDG and went back to Google" and "I use DDG but !g everything". I personally think DDG is founded on two false premises: 1. People care about privacy. 99% of people don't; and 2. Personalized search doesn't have value. I think Google's dominance here is a good example of why it does. At the end of the day, you can search Google incognito if you want to. People do this. DDG is inserting themselves between the user and Bing/Google. I just don't see how it survives long term doing this.
