I don’t know about “astroturf” and I don’t use Brave or follow it particularly, but the qualms with Brave’s insertion of referral codes and the negative comments around their apology all seem to miss the mark or seem vendetta-ish / politicized. For example; complaining about privacy, (which was entirely unaffected) or complaining that they couldn’t have possibly done it by mistake (which is not what they said happened). When I see repeated comments saying wrong things emphatically, it certainly sets off a bit of a radar.
