This isn't a question. It's an argument disguised as a series of questions. Nevertheless, the answer to the title's question is: we'll all be living in abject poverty while you're yelling "told you so"

Congrats on making and launching this. Both of those things are quite difficult. As kind of an acid test, I searched for "Repo Man" (in Films). It doesn't seem to be included in your database. 21 other films were displayed

FWIW, I've never before heard of anyone allergic to figs - or to any fruit. So I suspect that it is a rare dysfunction. The unusual nature and the mild reaction make your situation non-obvious. The link to wasps (noted by others) ad

A few months ago I first saw a DDG billboard. Within the last week or two I first saw DDG ads on TV. Within the last couple of days I saw a rumor about a DDG browser. Lotta activity. Timing seems good.
