Duckduckgo is rebranded LYCOS, which sucks ass and they know it does.  DDG before Yahoo! bought them was extremely good, and a worthy rival of google But google bailed out Yahoo!--you may recall they were bankrupt because of 'super genius girl power female CEO' Marissa Mayer touted by forbes and all the other deepstate publications, who routinely did not listen to her senior security / network devops engineers and ignored needed hardening efforts and they were hacked multiple times, and each time compromised poeple's yahoo mail accounts...this bad press was over and over and over again So their big, desperate power move to stent the hemmorhage of users (and revenue) was to close yahoo answers and groups, the two other user-generated content services yahoo users loved, and then bought DDG using Google's bail out money Now what we DONT know (but suspect) is that google had an arrangement for Yahoo! to buy the BRAND of DDG (the branding), but not the engine itself.  That--google likely said--Yahoo was to let Google retain (or destroy it).  SO they had no choice but to rebrand LYCOS as DDG btw, I have 100% proof of this, but when I try to link to it, the service that I had posted on has disappeared.  I still have the images but the online uploads are toast They did this by destroying SLI.MG where they were hosted, along with other disturbing images of piizzagate.  You see, SLIMG was a honeypot (trapdoor) service.    Step 1) make IMGUR not work for pizzagate Step 2) offer an alternative SLIMG, get everyone to go there Step 3) when pizzagate is about to break among the WOKETARDS, destroy SLIMG so all the images linked to on reddit / voat are gone Step 4) Laugh evilly
