Fed Up with Google, Conspiracy Theorists Turn to DuckDuckGo

5+ years ago, back when [0] people noticed that Nazi sites were the top Google results for "did the holocaust happen" — presumably because of the way Google prioritized literal text match in titles/headlines for esoteric queries — DDG had been providing bespoke responses via DuckDuckHack, its crowdsourced instant answer program [1]. Back then, and today, if you query a variation of "did the holocaust happen", the top result, in big large text, is "Yes"
DuckDuckHack was discontinued in 2017 because it didn't scale. The associated code repos are still available; for example, you can see how DDG's Instant Answer test suite specifically validated answers to questions about the Holocaust and the moon landing. [2]

Seems to be an issue on https://www.howmanypeopleareinspacerightnow.com/peopleinspace.json. Duckduckgo just refers to the json file (see https://github.com/duckduckgo/zeroclickinfo-spice/blob/master/lib/DDG/Spice/PeopleInSpace.pm)

> Most of DuckDuckGo's non-privacy-related selling points are their instant answers, which in my experience are really good.
And yet has no undeprecated pipeline for submitting non-"essential bug fixes" to[1].
I really love the idea of having an engine that does just a little bit more for me up front, but not if it's all closed off; that's what I'm trying to get away from.
