Was trying a duckduckgo search for a restaurant in town, and I clicked on a link to read it, then came back to the search results. Suddenly a bunch of links disappeared and the first two links were now tripadvisor.
I selected hide site from these results and immediately a tripadvisor link from another url (different country) pops up. I kind of kept going and hiding about 15 results and new tripadvisor links kept popping up. This went on until "Search query entered was too long. Please shorten and try again."
So is this a bing-underneath thing, or direct enshittification of duckduckgo?
This is while using uBlockOrigin, but that didn't help, I didn't see any way that the ads differed from the normal links either.
@workingclassgames I use it a lot (in Linux mostly) and haven't noticed that.
@workingclassgames I saw this the other day - just pages and pages of TripAdvisor links
