Why would I donate to someone who is willing to sell my attention?

Did you do it before they did so?

Looks like I judged them well in not doing so. I would have been such a sucker. After all, donating to corporations is for bootlickers.

So they’re just shilling their own search product on their own browser. No different from Google and Chrome. Except with some corporate bootlicking from running dog lackeys.

He literally sold it to an online advertising company lol.

EDIT: haha, the best defence of this guy you guys can muster is "If you don't pay me, I'll sell your data to online advertising companies" and that this is some kind of good thing.

Right. So you don't ever donate to anything, right? Just in case. The future. You know?

		It's somewhat funny that this guy asks for 850$/hour for consulting (in his hn profile description), never donates to anything, and writes multiple comments complaining like this.

		Donated to Bram Moolenaar or rather to the things he asked me to donate to instead. Didn’t sell vim to an ad company and then send his friends here to HN to act all holier than thou about selling to an ad company. At least Firefox didn’t get sold to The Trade Desk. Vim, brought to you by Doubleclick. Yeah never had that happen.

Maybe if you donated some money he wouldn't have had to.

I'm impressed by how thoroughly you ignored the question of whether your own inaction was partly responsible for the outcome that occurred later, and which you dislike.

It has persuaded me that your own inaction was totally unrelated to this outcome.
