I didn't mention that they ad-swap. I just refer to the fact they remove ads on the website but then display ads through the browser in terms of push notifications etc. I'd argue that website owners are being scammed by a company

Which is funny considering that Brave is a for profit company and nearly all of their money comes from displaying ads. It's popular for blocking a thing that the company needs to survive, while not caring about all the websites they bl

How can you argue it's not a scam? The BAT Cryptocurrency is merely used as a mechanism to justify stealing profits from website owners. It literally has no other use or value? The whole point of BAT is to reward people from removing a

You're making a mass assumption based on your usage of Brave there. Most people I know who downloaded Brave (general people, not the YCombintor/tech power user types) initially got Brave purely because they wanted to earn tokens w

He's not sticking up for it. He's pointing out a truth. For example, in countries like the UK, as a website owner I have a legal requirement to get consent. Brave in this example would be forcefully removing the ability for me to

Brave state that it's 'built on top of an independent index' but once you compare a few queries, it's obvious that they're just using a slightly modified version of Google results.

If a person had the knowledge/skills to get a spammy SEO site to rank high in Google, they would likely have the knowledge/skills to manipulate a community curated whitelist/blacklist.

Why would you want a search engine to provide you results from websites/companies that are known liars, that you very likely would never know was propaganda etc?

Are you sure you watched his videos? Fred had virtually no attention to safety. He would proudly promote that he would climb those towers after drinking pints of beer down the pub. He's a lovable person and I've watched nearly all

I'll think you'll find that your take on things is what gets people killed and exactly why health and safety/OSHA exist like they do today.

What a weird response.

by Teandw 4y ago
That means dealing with exchanges that are likely involved in illegal activities so a kind of mute point.

The issue with those promises is that they're pretty much empty promises because while they are true at their core, they don't hold much basis in reality for every day use. "P2P money/value transfer, no banks, no interme

I think you have a severe problem of digging into things too deeply. This is purely semantics and your proclaiming some odd propaganda angle. Which is a bit odd really. The article/title is 100% accurate. They are quietly buying thousa

How is that a bug?

That shows you have a distinct lack of understanding of what Ahref's core business model is built upon. It's not a PR stunt and they don't want to directly compete with Google either. They want it for search data. They don&#x

This guy throws multiple reasons/conspiracies out there on why the website is really struggling to gain literally any sort of traction. Web is all bots, search engines not promoting competitors and being drowned out by SEO spam, yet he

They tend to contract this sort of work to companies like Lionbridge who are very strict on rules etc.

That's a random thing to be worried of. That's not going to happen.

From previous experience they will virtually never 'remove' a road as the road is there and it should appear for 'accuracy' purpose, so if you're trying to get them to do that, that will be the reason why it's

They do get reviewed manually. I would imagine in the grand scheme of things, not many people would ever submit it. Scaling it wouldn't be hard regardless, this would be very basic task based work, that they would hire out to India or

Making things easier to find can be a threat, yes. I guess that's why they're moving towards allowing things like this to be removed.

by Teandw 4y ago
Well, yes. Because you're talking about a different scenario than what is going on here.

When you put a website live on the internet, you're giving everyone permission to access it, including Google, unless you state otherwise. (Or put processes in place to make it non-public.) So yes, you do allow them to visit your websi

Technically they haven't made your personal information available publicly. It was already public if Google managed to get their hands on it. They've just made it easier to find.

'Technically' Google only lists websites in their search engine that a website owner has authorised them to scrape/crawl. Part of Google's TOS is that if you allow them to crawl your website, you're following all le

The possible downside is that it could allow scammers/fraudsters to get their details removed.

I guess you don't understand that your answer actually backs up the reason why it shouldn't be allowed to happen.

Attaching the box to a metal pole isn't the problem. There are other problems such as H&S, expected demand (as the boxes have limited amounts of ports) and pole capacity in general. Poles can only have a certain amount of wire load
