Google’s search page has got noticeably worse in recent years, for a long list of reasons - here’s another indication it’s going to get even worse. I find myself using Duckduckgo more and more - it has its problems, but they are not as bad.
I paid to try it out for a month and it’s totally worth it. It’s by far better than duck duck go or bing. You can even promote and demote sites in your search results. No more pinterest and lots more wiki entries thanks to that.
Yes, they’ll have problems too, but will they be as bad?
The issue in this example is that the results were also SEO optimized for Google. These days Google’s results just seem liked paid placements or stuff SEO engineered to appear there.
Duckduckgo is far from perfect, but it seems better than Google at returning organic results.

Shouldn’t alternative search engines be as susceptible as Google?

DDG is Bing btw. Just to rub some salt in that age old Bing meme.
