Have you ever interacted with a Brave user? No, they can’t.

Ok whatever lmfao
Oh sweet, I have that and I never noticed that was a feature.
Anyone who’s media literate enough to care about such things do not rely on Google’s algorithm nor monetized YouTube channels / “content creators” to keep informed.
Monero is crypto, and this is an ad
What’s the extension called?
I think this is a good thing. While I understand that mainstream news sources tend to be pro-capitalist/pro-state, it’s still a step up from the unhinged fascist and nationalist conspiracy theories that run rampant on that site.
I’m not saying they had the plan all laid out in advance, but him being a convenient scapegoat if things went south certainly could have been part of the discussion. Both you and I are speculating of course, since we weren’t there for the discussion, and we can’t really trust anyone from Unity to be honest.
Well … yes, that’s what I’m saying. From a corporate perspective, they will do whatever it takes to profit.
I just don’t see this as a meaningful change, and I don’t think it should be interpreted as such.
To that I would say, his track record is what makes him the perfect scapegoat. That might very well have been a consideration when bringing him on in the first place.
I strongly suspect this is just damage control and that there’s no meaningful change whatsoever.
Companies using a scapegoat to deflect criticism is a tale as old as capitalism.

I just looked it up. How extremely creepy. My brother just put some ring cameras in his house. I’ll show him how to disable this tomorrow. It’s just evil that it’s not opt-in.
Every day, I feel better about my decision to quit Prime and distance myself from this awful corporation.
I saw this a long time ago when I was young, and I really liked it, but I don’t think I noticed at the time how silly some of the plot points are or how formulaic it is.
If you want to try insulting someone because you are misunderstanding yourself, go somewhere else.
The irony of you throwing shade at me and then saying this is palpable. You really need to chill, bro. Here’s the main idea of my comment, reduced to its essence: “There are different ways of looking at it.” Unless you argue that such is not the case (which would be absurd, considering there are in fact different ways of looking at it), then I suggest you go find somewhere else to be an insufferable pedant and leave me alone. I’m not looking for an argument or debate.
So do you disagree that there are different ways of looking at it? That your perspective is the One Truth above all others?
Go take a xanax or something.
Go back and read what I wrote again, slowly. Which part leads you to believe that “all [I’m] thinking about is how everything is an ad”? Because that’s not what I said.
I sort by new and all, and I’ve seen a lot of them, most of them coming from kbin. If you don’t frequently sort by new, they might get reported before you see them, and if you don’t subscribe to communities on kbin, you probably don’t see them at all.
There are different ways of looking at it. I used to be on r/hailcorporate in my reddit days, and one of the things we tried to highlight is how we sometimes passively advertise on behalf of corporations. For instance, I know people who will insist that blue Dawn™ is the best, even though its active ingredients are exactly the same in chemistry and amounts as some off brands. They’re de facto advertising on behalf of P&G.
There’s obviously a vast difference between this and a deliberate ad placed by a company, but I think it’s still important to point out when this happens. We are so immersed in corporate advertising that we become almost numb to it.
There’s definitely some information that I’ve shared that is probably not in my best interest, so I understand being the type of person who tells people almost anything. I’m pretty much an open book with close friends and family. It’s one reason I like to avoid sites like Facebook and use sites that emphasize anonymity more. Sometimes I have to keep myself safe from myself lol
I’m a big advocate of privacy, but it’s good to ask these questions. We shouldn’t shame people for asking.
If you look at what a raging tool the CEO is and the implications of the browser’s association with crypto (no matter how optional), I think that Brave just attracts that type of person
