Oh shit I didn't know about this! I remember when Brave came out and I just instinctively knew there was something fishy about it, never used it. It's like a sixth sense, like how you know when something is an ad.
I remember feeling the exact same when Facebook first rolled out and everyone was raving about it- I just knew it was a big scam, I couldn't articulate it, but I knew.
It's a good intuition to have, we should all keep our bullshitometers up to code and well maintained.
