i thought the same thing, but these people persistence hunt today for over 8 hours. no mention of total distance but 8 hours is no joke.

women want to see what’s on TV, men just want to see what else is on TV.
one of those jokes that’s about to age out of relevance.
this study is from 2016. a more recent study from 2021 was not able to replicate the results and says other studies have had mixed results as well.
edit: and a response from one of the original authors
i don’t have time to deep dive now, but suffice it to say this is far from settled.

not here to set a wager, I was just trying to help explain the authors’ reasoning.
I’m guessing it has more to do with underdeveloped countries still relying on the simplicity of coal power.
then you see there are multiple reasons why coal may still be in use in 2060?
that only addresses one of the issues above.
Uncertainties arise, however, over grid stability in a renewables-dominated power system, the availability of sufficient finance in underdeveloped economies, the capacity of supply chains and political resistance from regions that lose employment.
apparently freetube automatically uses a new invidious instance every time it starts up.
This would be a major issue, because DDG specifically claims it does not store any identifying information about you.

I had a search saved from some months ago, went to check it for some references and got new hits involving local organizations that had nothing to do with the search. Opening up a private browser I see that the searches aren’t 100% matching up either.
my guess is this is just variation in the search algorithms over time. excerpt from their privacy policy above which I think can explain most of the variability you mentioned:
“For example, we may know that we got a lot of searches for “cute cat pictures” today, but we don’t know who actually performed those searches. That is, viewing search results on DuckDuckGo is anonymous. And we only save these anonymous search queries — completely disconnected from any unique identifiers like IP addresses — for just enough time to analyze anonymous trends like popular searches, so that we can better serve you. For local search results in particular, we’ve further engineered a solution to shield your precise location from us and our content providers that sends us a random location nearish to you, which we also never log to disk.”
So they do use your geo IP and popular searches to weigh results which can change over time.
However, after seeing TV ads for DDG not that long ago I kind of lost what faith I had left in them. As a rule of thumb, I’ve never trusted products and services advertised on TV - TV advertising is expensive, and the business expects to make that expense back and then some from their customers.
DDG doesn’t claim to be non-profit or anything. Their business model is based on revenue from advertising targeted solely from the search queries themselves, not from stored personal data.
DDG uses a bunch of different sources, it’s not just rebranded bing.
also DDG does not send any personal info to its partners, so Microsoft’s privacy policy is not relevant.
OP’s concern is that DDG itself is keeping your personal info and using that to weigh your search results. But that also directly contradicts DDG’s privacy policy, so it’s either a major breach of trust or I think more likely OP is reading into varying search results too much.
the dude asks about SSD cash for torrents and your multimillion-dollar answer is “raid”. lol
as people have already pointed out multiple times, what OP wants is something like mergerfs or unraid which can handle files on SSD cash and then move to spinning disks later.
wtf does raid have to do with anything here? yeah, sure, I’m the slow one.
or you could, you know, think about it for a second from their point of view. and they have already clarified this in other comments.
what is the point of faster download if you just have to do another entire copy after that?
Persistence hunters today do track their prey, and often have to guess where the prey may have gone when the tracks are lost.
