Is duckduckgo just now starting to censor searches, or was this already a thing for them? (AskVoat)

submitted ago by DrSelfAppointed

I noticed the other day on my phone Duckduckgo didn't have a link for Hooktube when searched. Now even on desktop it's no longer displaying results for the site. Unless my memory is just that shit, I am sure I have used Duckduckgo to get to Hooktube before

Anyone else can confirm or notice any other sites being? Hell, Stormfront shows up, so it might be google pressure?

EDIT*

Am I just retarded and hooktube is not interested in being indexed?

I know random shit and sometimes it might be relevant.

Websites can be configured to disallow indexing. Hooktube got reason to hide.

I know it as well, but that is not the case. Hooktube is still indexed by Google and the robots.txt is not set up to block crawling. It seems it has been scrubbed from DuckDuckGo, which is strange.

DuckDuckGo uses the Bing/Yahoo index, along with some smaller sources. I guess hooktube is banned from there?
