M*crosoft's search engine is borderline unusable

It's impressive how duckduckgo manages to be so much better than bing despite being a frontend for bing

I wouldn't say it's borderline unusable tbh...
The first adware result is blocked with any ad blocker, the fact you see it means you might not have your ad blocker on, or disabled in incognito mode.
The second and third copilot bullshit sections can be toggled off from any search result page, on the sidebar settings there's a toggle.
I do appreciate the bing rewards thing, basically every few weeks I get a gift card because you earn points by using bing
- They got to you. It's too late to safe you. Rest peacefully.
- Um, acktually, all you have to do to use the product successfully is to follow my bespoke instruction set that I posted to the premiere federated platform where I carefully enumerated the steps necessary to…..hey wait why are you running away from me I’m actively helping you!!!!!
- Everything you’ve proposed as an easy fix would not apply to the vast majority of end users; the target audience.
  
  Also…gift cards? Wtf. Makes this comment sound fake af.
  
  it's not fake, bing rewards has been a thing for many years. It's literally just using bing to search things, each search gives you points, and then you redeem giftcards (amazon, uber, etc)
  I guess most here don't particularly care, but the points mechanic it's nice
  
  I don’t think anyone was suggesting otherwise.
  “THIS JUST IN!, credit cards offer reward points to soften the effects of data mining on individuals. It highlights the advantages of using custom lubricant on the broomsticks they are fucking you in the ass with.”
  Some say it feels nice.
