@Gargron this is the office I want to work in.

@buttondown @ehmatthes I'm not sure what you're using to calculate the price of Ghost, but... this is not how Ghost (Pro) Pricing works, at all.

@raphael @richardc @dansup @pixelfed @brave The idea for Brave is "what if we replaced the ads on the internet with our own ads, kept a cut of the profits for ourselves, didn't tell the sites whose ads we replaced, and paid our users four cents a year to look the other way? Everybdoy wins!"

@raphael @richardc @dansup @pixelfed @brave You don't want to support any sites at all, do you? You just want to leech off them? You don't want to support ad-based sites, but you're happy to support Brave, which is literally founded on tracking the amount of attention you're paying to its ads, it's right in the name of the token. I assume you're not opening a new crypto wallet for those tokens every day?

@raphael @richardc @dansup @pixelfed @brave You don't have to visit ad-based sites. Something tells me you still do. You don't "want" to leech off them, but you sure don't mind doing it, do you?

Brave's system gives power to Brave Software, Inc. It gives you a pittance so you forget that fact. In your case, they even get a shill supporting their bullshit.

@raphael @richardc @dansup @pixelfed @brave No, because ublock doesn't profit from ad blocking.

You said you wanted those websites to disappear, but you're lying. You want to keep using those websites without paying for them, *and* you want to brag about how you're giving your attention to some *other* for-profit ad company that tracks you *instead*.

@raphael @richardc @dansup @pixelfed @brave I'm judging you by your moral compass. You're failing by your own criteria, here.

@dansup @pixelfed why shouldn't the people running the servers be able to monetize at all?
