I don't understand why people find DuckDuckGo a good alternative. It's better for privacy yes, but the search results are just as useless and unrelated because they're based on Google which is just a big ad server now. Every result is find 10 "XYZ's" on Amazon or Walmart, or the other results for different companies.

Duck duck go is based on Bing, not Google.

Well still explains why it's so bad. Bing is just as bad with paid results, to the point it has to pay people to try to get them to use it.
