I look at Brave as another business looking to take their cut as a middleman between users and creators. It's an ad network that takes the 30% cut like Apple does to apps making over $1M. I would much rather that creators who want to m

Do you ever visit or live in a place with unofficial cabs preying on people at an airport? You're acting as if laws were only made by corruption and not because people were screwed over. I think Uber is probably a net good thing but I

It amazes me that this discussion is so heated instead of a topic like X (and most other social platforms) requiring you to have an account to see anything. X only exists because of users contributions, but almost all of them have decided t

Top five pharma companies had earnings of $82B in 2022. I'm sure some of that is bolstered by vaccine sales but the problem lies in uncapped prices and uncapped greed. And who owns the most shares of these Companies? Organizations like

I believe it's really the outcome of capitalism and greed taking something that was organic (forums and chat) and monetizing it to death. Facebook monetized your family and friends, Instagram monetized your vanity / creativity, et
