Well first, let’s stay on the topic of a huge ethical conflict of interest. Do you understand why that’s a problem, and how conflicts of interests have been abused throughout history?
Well, there’s a good chance that most people who present technical information publicly are probably involved somewhere in the tech space. Pretty sure the owner of that site also has a disclaimer stating that he in fact works for Brave.
More directly, is the information on that website inaccurate? Could any other person create a similar website with the same information? Has anyone?
True facts don’t change based on who presents them. Every time I see this “oh don’t trust the Brave employee” it’s usually someone who is mad that FF isn’t the best in whatever category.
This doesn’t address my question about how to rationally think about conflicts of interest.

Seems like a bad assumption. Do you trust a scientist paid by BP to tell you how safe BP fuel is for the environment? Do you trust Mark Zuckerberg to tell the United States how private Facebook is?
And after you employ some critical thinking there, maybe your responses will dictate how you would see the presentation of statistics, and whether a dishonest paid actor would be likely to overstate things that make their employer look good and understate things that made their employer look bad, while technically not lying as far as the law is concerned.
An employee of Brave runs that website.
If that doesn’t scream conflict of interest, I don’t know what does.
Are you saying the information presented is somehow incorrect?

You just nailed it lmao.
How do you feel about ethical conflicts of interest?
