This is why I moved to the Duck 3-4 years ago. I became tired of clicking past Page 1 of my Google results, all content mills and SEO farms.

DuckDuckGo is just a front-end to Bing, though, and as of mid 2021 I've begun seeing more and more low-effort SEOey links in the first page. Google started the trend, but it seems like all major search engines are increasingly disconnecting search results from the actual search terms.

I actually find myself using archive.org to search if I need super-specific old-school AltaVista-style results.
