Brave is certainly the most shameless tech company I've ever seen in my entire life. Shame on HN to repeatedly allow such a scummy company exploits its ranking algorithm again and again. This kind of systematic exploitation used to happen before with DuckDuckGo, but it seems that Brave took shamelessness to a whole new level.

View on HN

Could you expound? Exploits it's ranking algorithm? What does that mean.

> What does that mean.

It doesn't mean anything. This 'trpc' account is the resident Brave hater; every HN story about Brave features trpc making stuff up or just impugning Brave as a scam.

thanks for highlighting my opinion on this scam, I am too lazy to write the same argument every time.

You say

>Brave is certainly the most shameless tech company I've ever seen in my entire life.

without any supporting comparisons or an explanation of why.

When you say

>Shame on HN to repeatedly allow such a scummy company exploits its ranking algorithm again and again.

are you talking about people posting about Brave on HN and exploiting up-votes for it to gain attention? If this is the case again it is just a statement without any proof.

This makes no sense. Brave's a browser, not a search engine. Are you claiming they manipulate search results? How would they even do that?
