Microsoft Tests 9 Ads & Only One Free Search Results On Same Page.

duckduckgo is mostly based on bing results so you could try that too.

Gross but also... kinda curious from an A/B testing perspective to know when the user drop off happens. Kind of like, what's the pain threshold before someone stops using shitty software. The answer really should be zero but the average user... ugh, it's probably fucking 8 or 9 and we should be ashamed.

Too bad is Bing so the sample size is too small for any meaningful results.

This is what Google and Amazon say do, why are they singling out Bing?

Use an advertisement blocker on either site and the entire experience seems foreign.

Way to confuse adblock users

Two of the ads are for the same company, and that company is also one of the two organic results.

I started using and paying for Kagi. Fuck Google and Microsoft.

I do, too, and I hope they increase their own search index to reduce the dependency on Google/Microsoft. I love the great search experience but I hate that I'm (indirectly) giving those companies my money.

I'd love to use Kagi but I'm too poor for their pro subscription (and I use too many search queries)

I’m sure both people who use Bing are furious

Yup! It provides the results for DuckDuckGo.
