Comment on Duck Duck Go Passed 1mm Searches Per Dayparent

Couldn't they just scrape Yahoo? Yahoo is very lenient towards scrapers - you can survive with just 10 proxies cycling, I doubt they do any intelligent blocking like Google

And risk their entire business on some fragile and easily blocked scraping? (yahoo WOULD notice 1 million scrapes a day)

Yikes

Their entire business is already quite fragile. And I know people who scrape Yahoo close to 1 million queries a day. They really are that ignorant or indifferent.
