I don't understand what the CEO being homophobic has to do with it. The product is great, it doesn't allow targeted advertising, he doesn't invade our privacy and security, etc.
As for the "crappy cryptomoney", I wouldn't call it useless or crappy. I've gotten almost $28 from it for nothing, and using the Uphold app connected to your Brave browser you can exchange it for any crypto, or equity in other companies, or even by gold with it. It isn't just a useless crypto and I think it's kind of messed up I've gotten $28 from literally nothing while advertising companies are taking it all in with normal browsers.
The CEO being homophobic means I don't want to do anything that earns him money.
I don't understand that though, (not trying to be a dick) I could understand it if he was prejudice, but he just doesn't like them.
He donated money to anti gay marriage lobbies.
