Was wondering what the hell was going on this morning.

Oh, was this why DuckDuckGo was down yesterday?

Yeah. It was pretty funny to me because downdetector.com (run by the speedtest.net folks) had 4 times the error reports submitted for DDG than Bing. Bing has a bigger market share, so I think it’s purely down to DDG users being more technically-minded.
