I don't see any answers on why tens of thousands of techdirt.com pages aren't in the DDG index. It's not some random unknown blog with zero traffic.

  Your point is lost. He claims when sites get dropped from bing they are automatically dropped from ddg and require manual efforts to get them up. There is no process either. You need to connect with someone on the inside. No form, phone number or any reasonable way of contacting them. If you don't share a daycare timeslot with him or can get your submission upvoted here good luck

    Actually it’s a fairly easy process to contact DDG. There’s the “Share Feedback” button on every search page. It may be a little less visible, but there’s also a contact email listed on the Press page.

    That’s a lot of conjecture vs the reality. Plus you’re absolutely mischaracterizing what he said. You’re arguing in bad faith, apparently because you came to a conclusion first & are scrambling to justify it.

  Again you link to some generic comment that doesn't address my point in any way. Why are you shilling and telling me to look at the comments instead of linking directly to the comment that would address my point?

    That you don’t understand how it applies, and that your comment is mostly nonsensical, is not MY failure

      To form a bit of common ground, yegg hasn’t talked much about the specifics of the TechDirt case. I think bufferoverflow is wanting those details. Just because delistings can happen because of Bing doesn’t mean that’s what happened here.
