Probably a combination of GDPR and the Russian news censorship laws. Otherwise they wouldn't have waited until now to do it. Also if only 1% of their visitors are from Europe, it makes sense to block them rather than to comply with their local laws.
I stopped using DuckDuckGo after this. Although they had been messing with the search results before this. I can't find torrent related stuff as easily on DDG after they started downranking the file sharing sites.
I listen to the Unmade Podcast. It started as a podcast about podcast ideas that will never be made into an actual podcast. But now it has branched into other stuff like travel and souvenir spoon collection.
