The Verge published this spam article about the "best printers of 2024" to demonstrate how terrible Google's search results are. It now appears as the top non-sponsored post if you search "best printer" on Google.

I love a good, informative troll.

DDG tries very hard to push Amazon and Ebay to me. They're not even available in my country ๐Ÿ˜…

That seems like a bug assuming you have your region selected/enabled? I'd report it to DDG.

I don't know why they would need my location/region. They're already trying too hard to advertise stuff to me. Isn't the internet like, international? Other search engines I never get that Ebay/Amazon stuff, it's a DDG feature for whatever IP I get.
