If the allegations are true, Brave has found a remarkably efficient business model: block the publisher’s ads, bypass its paywall, scrape its articles, then sell the results to AI companies. All while marketing itself as the browser that protects people from shady internet practices.

And people over in Reddit and tech-illiterate people recommend this garbage?

Sure. Let media outlets owned by the rich fight tech companies owned by other rich people. Doubt it changes anything though.

Glad I decided to drop them and go with Duck Duck Go instead six months or so ago. Heard some shitty things about the owners of Brave...

damn i hope both of them lose somehow

Fuck you, Brendan Eich

I don’t love brave… it’s kinda wierd…

The article lack details on how that scraping is done, and I think those details are crucial to evaluate how serious are the allegations.

I wonder how the Washington Post feels about it?

How do Brave Bypasses NYT's paywall? In the past I've managed that with an extension, not anymore .

Nie pamiętam kiedy NYT pozwało kogoś w słusznej sprawie...

Brave doing something shitty? Color me shocked.

Aww, I feel for you. Worried someone is scraping the lies you publish?

(I'd say that about pretty much any "news" outlet. They've been liars since Hurst was accusing miners of being criminals in the 1800's).
