CEOs don’t just make money on ads, they also make money on users that use their apps. Every download or ping then Brendan Eich can go to investors & say that he now has more potential to make them money, so they give him investments in return, which then he can pocket a few million & when/if Trump tries to get legislation passed to ban gay marriage, then Eich is going to likely be helping fund getting that passed again.
I find this weird, as I’ve seen trans and lqbtq ads in brave befofe disabling ads. I checked Eich out now, is the whole controversy really just due a 1000$ donation to a christian group (which had anti gay agendas among other things)?
I’m honestly just a bit baffled, might be I’m just very out of the loop.
The money was for the campaign for Prop 8 itself, not some organization that he had no clue what it was going for. Plus, despite claiming he regrets it, he then has continued to defend his antigay position on social media.
CEO’s get money from people using their products, and Google’s CEO spends a lot of that money lobbying in order to push the government further right. It’s not a tough thing to follow. “Support” isn’t about whether or not you agree with them, it’s about whether or not you help fund their actions when you have other options that wouldn’t.
Cromite. Every time you use Brave you help promote their right-wing CEO known for donating money to ban gay marriage.
Could you explain how that logic works? I don’t support their CEOs points of views by simply browsing the web with the app.
I can understand how mentioning this, I would, but I was compelled to reply to your question.
Edit: Naos question*
Edit 2: I don’t see Cromite in the app store, and have near zero will for tinkering/manual updating after a days work in tech.

CEOs* get money

Just a small rec: Obtainium has been great for managing git sources (how I get my Cromite), I don’t think I really needed any dev experience at all.
A small pain is that some repo owners only publish source code, but you know, that’s just how it goes
