My DuckDuckGo search results are being absolutely BOMBED with AI blogs based on any kind of <search query>.

This is like.. first 3 results of a search on "dåb"

This happened earlier today and my reaction was "Wait did I just get the exact same website but for COMPLETELY different topic"

So I clicked some more links and while all different domains they are 100% backed by the same system.

@jalict can highly recommend https://uruky.com 5€ and multiple search engines, made in EU

ddg is backed by bing mostly and will continue to rot ig

[jalict@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@cblgh Thanks for the recommendation! Thats nice, I enjoy Kagi at work at the moment, but maybe this is a good option for at home.

But yeah fully aware of Bing backed search engine via DDG. This was just the most in your face example of raw junk I have experienced myself.

@jalict AI spam. We need blocklists. I get them searching with qwant as well.
