It's about as unethical as removing the packaging from groceries and serving them on your own plates.

  What?

  False equivalent. Using your analogical line of reasoning, the equivalent would be stealing the groceries from a supermarket and replacing them with your own. I don't think Brave's proposed (but apparently never implemented) ad-replacement was quite this bad, but analogies are never very accurate.

    I like my analogy. I buy the food (content) and get the branded packaging (ads) I then serve the same food, replacing the branded packaging with my own plates. My dinner guests will give me credit for the plates, instead of giving eyeballs to the original branded packaging.

      Honestly, I need to retract my above comment completely. You're absolutely right. The fact it took a second explanation/clarification is a pretty good insight into how accepting we've become of advertising as a thing tbh.
