I fail to see the link between duckduckgo and Microsoft and TFA, what connects them?

If you tap the NY Post link below the "Recent News" title you'll be taken to a Microsoft powered news page that only lets you read a few paragraphs before demanding you install some malware or app or whatever.
Interesting, for me that just takes me to the page + content. I do run a bunch of ad blocking stuff so maybe that's the difference?
Did you see the plain "Expand Article" button under the blue "Download App" button?
No, just "continue reading in the app".

Edit: I do see the button on other articles that are served "on MSN.com". I dunno.
