I can understand where you are coming from and to some degree I agree, but I can see where others are coming from as well. This isn't just about a browser, it's partly about buying/supporting products/services that falls into the hands of people who become super rich and then use that money to lobby for things that you find unethical. Am I saying Eich gets super rich off Brave? No, but in general I think that's partly where that mentality comes from of evaluating the prominent people behind the products/services we use.

Do you really want to buy products/services from from companies owned by Koch Industries when you know that your money goes towards their lobbying efforts?

That's probably the best review yet. You read it and it was so good that you decided to order it.

Also of interest is that two of the shill accounts, /u/istormberry[50] and /u/Cumberbatchweb[51] , have only one other thread they have contributed to - the Benedict Cumberbatch AMA. I wonder what the results would be if we analysed that AMA...

I don't know if you realize, but there are some people who are serious Sherlock fans. Like, that is probably something that plays too significant of a role in their life. And a lot of those people are probably part of the Tumblr community. It wouldn't really surprise me at all that many of these accounts that may appear to be shill accounts are really just people who are part of a different community and only bother to come on reddit to ask questions to people they are unhealthily obsessed with.

You don't think he might see this and try to flee?

Do you ever try to set up a situation in which someone you suspect may be a fraud so that you can obtain proof?

Like I seen one response you made that said "Yes, I have followed this man several times in the past to no avail. He would eitehr be at home or stick to his restrictions." Do you have any certain ways of tricking them into revealing their ruse, like win free airline tickets to Hawaii or something like that? Perhaps hoping that while in that different setting they would drop the act.
