[Solved] Is Duckduckgo slowing down?

tldr; After some research I found that including ?kbg=-1 to the url disables the AI feature. So, you can disable AI permanently using the following as your search engine configuration (which is available at least on Librewolf)

https://duckduckgo.com/search?q=%25s&kbg=-1

or you can temporary disable the feature by including -noai to your search query.

Been using ddg for over 4 years and I feel it is getting slower these days. Or is it just me?

Startpage and other search engines loads fine. Also, I'm using Librewolf so the problem is not the cache.

Does DDG curate to remove hate content and/or piracy?

After Google failed to find something yesterday, I tried Duck Duck Go to see if it would do better. Not only did it also not find what I was looking for (which probably doesn't exist), it additionally turned up a loosely-related result, in the form of a website called "Goyim TV". It's a pretty grotesquely antisemitic video hosting platform. It replaces the "like" button with a Nazi swastika and the "dislike" with an extremely racist caricature of a Jewish man.

If that wasn't bad enough on its own, the website also seems a haven of copyright infringement. The result that came up for me in search was a YouTube video that I'm pretty confident was not uploaded to this platform by the creator.

I used the three-dot menu to report the site, but right now the link is still appearing. Is this something that DDG generally allows, or does it just take longer for them to get around to addressing the problem?
