Gregory's Server@Urban_Hermit @cavyherd @edsuom @samir Is Dailymotion or Vimeo a good YouTube alternative? We use both for work and they suit us well.
Sadly, I gave up using DDG (a.k.a. Bing) a month shy of my 12th anniversary with them as my default last year. The Bing index has collapsed in a big way, and I need to run site: searches on it for a work site. Really disappointed it let me down so badly, but luckily I came across @Mojeek.
Happy DDG is still doing its job for you all, but Iʼve become wary. 🙁

@cavyherd @Urban_Hermit @edsuom @samir @Mojeek Sorry, I need to clarify: DDG (and Yahoo, Ecosia, Qwant, Neeva and others) license their results from Bing. The results are the same, which sadly means they are terrible! (The index gets smaller and smaller based on my research, so if you need something specific, it could be tricky.)  @cavyherd @Urban_Hermit @edsuom @samir You can supplement your searches with @Mojeek, and you can have DDG at the bottom of each page of Mojeek hasnʼt given you the right result. With a relatively small user base, Mojeekʼs ordering isnʼt the best, but it will improve if more of us use it. |

Both Dailymotion or Vimeo seem viable. I've never dealt with them from the content creator side, but a lot of creators I know & respect tend to use Vime.
Wait—DDG is Bing? I.e., Microsoft? I...thought they were some entirely independent outfit?
Oh, I see. It "partners" with Bing. 🤔.
AIUI, it's chief virtue is lack of user tracking?
