I think it could hurt their image in the long-term. I've already seen others complain here and there about the pushy narrative, they just need to be more subtle about it. Again, I'm using DDG and want them to expand so I want what's best for them!

Problem with people in the tech community is to think that sometimes anything that involves promoting yourself is being too push. DDG needs to do interview, needs to be on the front of the issue and needs to be doing activism in order to make changes. Just having a browser and shutting their month to not sound "pushy" isn't going to help them grow and make the changes that WE need.

what should they do instead?

Have more of a sense of humour about it. I think most complaints I've seen about people on this seem to mostly be tonal.
