I've been assuming that this was just a bug with DDG and not a deliberate attempt to cripple their search engine. I've seen it with Google results too, but I could buy that Google would break them, since making websites harder to find encourages people to pay for prominently placed ads, but what would DDG's motivation be?

Well DDG earns money from ads as well, so presumably the same reason.
