I've always been a bit suspicious that despite having seemingly no way of making revenue they manage to plaster every corner of the internet with their paid ads. Like, aren't they supposed to be a damn nonprofit or something? Makes absolutely no sense.



Iā€™m not aware of them being non-profit. Not that any particular tax status precludes ad spend.

DDG makes revenue from serving ads and participating in affiliates networks.

They serve ads on DuckDuckGo, though.
