#2As for the YouTube-DL part specifically, I'm pretty sure that's a side-effect of them being dependent upon Bing for the actual index: https://www.bing.com/search?q=site%3Ayoutube-dl.org
Also, _come on_; if someone gives up after one search term, which also includes advanced site-restricting syntax, there's no way they'd be able to operate youtube-dl anyway: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=youtube-dl&ia=web

Yeah idk why someone would type in the full URL of a site and not just the term they're looking for in a search engine...what a dumb way to test that on their part.

#5I'm just waiting for the day they announce an NFT or a "trusted partners" program with establishment media entities. Come on, DDG, you've come this far, so truly jump the shark for our amusement.

#6I thought yt-dlp was recommended over youtube-dl these days. Any chance DDG suppressing a less-preferred program?

#8Youtube-dl's site is yt-dl.org, not youtube-dl.org. Not surprised the second one doesn't show up. Not sure why this blogspam is here on HN either.
