DuckDuckGo Removes Pirate Sites and YouTube-DL from Its Search Results

DuckDuckGo 'Removes' Pirate Sites and YouTube-DL from Its Search Results (Updated) * TorrentFreak

Search engine DuckDuckGo has completely removed all search results for popular pirate sites including The Pirate Bay, 1337x, and Fmovies.

Yet another slight from Duckduckgo, adding to the many they have done recently. I'm looking for a new search engine to be my daily driver. Any suggestions? Startpage? Brave?

I don't understand why youtube-dl is targeted so much in search results. YouTube keeps changing their scripts so that it has only worked about 1 week per month for the last 5 years. And that's when they push an update within a month. Sometimes it's as long as 90 days that the thing doesn't work.

I use it a couple times per week and it has worked 99% of the time for the last 5 years. Maybe you're doing something wrong.
