I noticed this for a longer time but I just thought MSN flooded the web with its shit. It didn't came to my mind it is actually duckduckgo trying to shove these msn links into my face...
I guess this is similar to google amp links, just stealing the content of other websites.
It annoys me big time, -msn doesn't seem to help
Front page is always full of sponsored crap. You learn to ignore it. Work around it.
Not saying this doesn’t suck, but it is also a soft paywall dodge for sites like WaPo.
I searched "Trump" and switched to the news tab on DDG and get a variety of sources.
MSN isn't even in the top 20 for me.
♪ MSN
♪ MSN
♪ Who said MSN?
♪ If you go on MSN
♪ A terrible thing will happen to you
♪ You will sit and stare for hours
♪ And people you don't like will talk to you
♪ Don't go on MSN
♪ Don't go on MSN
♪ Don't go on MSN
♪ Don't go on MSN
This is weird. The links all show other news agencies, and you see the same at the top of the page when you follow the links. Is MSN re-hosting the stories from all these agencies or are the agencies opting in for this?
Nothing like seeing an Associated Press link and having it open on msn.com!! 🤡
It's a syndication partnership with MSN. Publishers provide their articles to MSN via RSS. It's increasingly difficult to draw traffic to independent sites, so publishers are all seeking to diversify their traffic sources.
here when i search for something or someone 'newsworthy' i get links to other sites ahead of msn, those links do go to the expected sites, and the favicons (that are all msn in the posted image) are also correct. in fact, only one first page out of the five searches i tried even had an msn link at all--at #9.
Try searxng
Duck Duck Go uses Bing so that tracks.
i've been using Qwant when i search news
Its like Google's amp links, it is for for the ad tracking purposes
This is the answer. Might be a (new?) part of their agreement
I still like DDG and recommend it. But I also recently switched to Kagi, a paid search engine, and have been quite happy.
Search something on duckduckgo and then refresh, it will list a different order of results. Very annoying if you check multiple links to not know which ones were in what order.
DDG has been hot garbage for a while since Bing jacked up their prices.
SAME!
