Except me, I am on HN and I use Bing.

Me too. I've made at least $50 in amazon gift cards from bing rewards.

I made $0 in Amazon gift cards from DDG, but I did retain my privacy. If you got $50 in gift cards from Microsoft, you can be sure they profited more than $50 from you.

You can't be sure of that. It could be a loss leader to get people off Google. That said they are hoping that eventually they'll profit more than $50 from you.

[jccalhoun]

Duck duck go made more than zero from you...

[Fnoord]

..but not so much that they can afford Amazon gift cards worth $50.
