Lol it's just 0s and 1s bro, do you want to make it illegal to share certain sequences of 0s and 1s?

Already said multiple times.
They do trough referrals when.

...

And the thing saying it's illegal is just a different combination of subatomic particles.

stop asking questions

amazon shills. they use affiliate links and let amazon collect user data

DDG has its own ads and sponsored results, but those are clearly marked as such and that can be disabled in Settings.

They also take donations from people and companies.

No, they use good ol' referral links.

Amazon and Ebay will know that you came through DuckDuckGo, but not what you were searching for.

ddg is google jr

Being affiliated with Amazon is fine by me. Canonical does it, and they're a privacy respecting company.

10/10 this made me laugh

...

Datamining. Obviously.

(((people and companies)))

They lose on each access but make up for it in volume.

...

who cares, it's shit. use searx

Analytics. User X from X city searched for X and then accessed site X at X o'clock. Same IP came back later and searched for Y then accessed site Y at Y o'clock. Now they have a bunch of data to sell to companies willing to know what a specific public from a given region is interested in consuming and then adjust their targeted marketing accordingly
