it seems (to me anyway) that almost anything related to brave that gets posted on lemmy gets downvoted quite a bit, this post is an example. (although, I may just be overthinking it.)
I've seen this in other places as well, especially hackernews. Why is that?
I guess people just don't like brave because of the crypto stuff, and they've also done some things in the past like getting a fork (that removed BAT) shut down, adding affiliate links to URLs etc.
IIRC The fork was shut down because it called itself Braver, thus allegedly infringing the copyright on the brand Brave.
